Snow tires and You. Are you ready for the snow?

For all those who have to deal with snow, are you ready?
Not that I worry about snow and from the looks of it the NYC area is going to be spared this winter... but ya never know.
So for those who must be prepped for 'ol man winter, how do you set your car up for it?

Dunlop Graspic DS-2s

Bought them a month and a half ago and have only used their winter prowess one day

Oh well, winter is young

lol no sh1t, I got the EVO and equipped it with WS50's with the hope and intention that the white crap would already be here. stupid me I shoulda bought the Z06 and put snows on it instead

Z06... and I would have been asking for a drive. Glad you did not buy that, or am I sad

I did some last minute winterization as well.

Kinda hard to see in this cell pic but OEM splash guards and (not pictured)
OEM All Season mats.

I been thinking about getting the splash gaurd too but I don't think they fit over the OEM kit.

And what do you mean OEM all-season mats??? are they still available for the DC2 Integras? I've only seen aftermarket A/S mats.

I've got my winter tires on, Weathertech floor mats, snow brush and scraper, and... we haven't had snow since December 1. It was the warmest December here in the past 78 years of weatherkeeping at Midway Airport, and it's continuing for another week. This Sunday is supposed to be the 29th day in a row of above-normal temperatures.

snow? are you crazy? My ITR is sitting comfortably in the garage with a car cover on. I let my Camry take the winter-beating.

Besides...no snow here in Detroit..felt like a cool spring day today.

OGs. I've had these mats for longer than I'ved owned an Integra. Never thought I would actually put them to use.
Perks from working at dealerships for soo long.

Hey, you can take credit for the warm weather!

If you had bought, say, an S2000 instead, we'd be having record snowstorms!
