Swapping mine this weekend... can't wait for that nice, plush, Cadillac ride 
Oh well, only about 5 months until we swap back.
What pressures do you run in the winter? Last year was my first season and I wasn't 100% satisfied with the traction. I think partly that was my getting used to the rear-favored drive and the engine weight in the back; although, I was thinking about fiddling with the tire pressure as well, just never got to it. You run with the PSM on/off?

I went out for a hike this afternoon, and I'm definitely glad I had my winter tires on. I drove over several parts of the road that were covered with snow or slush. The trail that I hiked was totally snow covered! I snapped this quick photo hiking back down to the car.

It snowed here last week, and today it's fall again high '60s. I hiked in the mountains Sunday and yesterday and there were patches of snow and lots of broken tree branches some quite large blocking trails. Driving the Turbo's almost as much fun as walking, lol!

Put mine on over the weekend, figured I would get it done before the shop got busy and I was doing every one else's.
According to Weather Canada, I am prob a couple weeks early, but winter compounds these days don't wear nearly as bad in warm temps as old models. That and the fact I go at least a set of tires a season just to try stuff out. Since there have hasn't been any real new technological changes to any models in my size this year I will prob rock just one set this year.
