I think I'm gonna leave the run flats on this year and see how they are and depending on how it goes I'll invest in some snow tires next year. Thanks guys!!!!

AC, I would recommend you look at a few other threads here that discuss the F1's and winter, link to one below. They are not recommended for use in snow. To that the warranty on them warns against use in extreme cold. I am just east and south of you in Maryland. I have already swapped mine for Goodrich A/S's, a personal choice. The call is yours and all I recommend is check all of the information and base your decision on that.

You're right but we only have less than 2 months till winter is over. I feel like I can get through it for this year. What is your setup for the winter tho? Do you have separate tires and rims for the winter?

Lol, I wish I could say that. The last snow day in Chicago last year was in April.

Lots of places carry them. I used Jegs.

I think they stop as good as the stock Brembo pads and almost no dust.

Wish it would warm up a little so I can see how much dust the powerstops put out. i just put them on mine last week.

This!

Awesome waterless wash for harsh winters, did it in the coziness of my garage with a superb water repellency, just fast easy and super water beading properties.
