Maybe you have some really trick formulations for winter tires in Europe we don't have here. But it seems a little early to be mounting them unless you live in the Alps.

It is getting kind of chilly outside over here. And where I live it is onlu 300m above sealevel. Go above 700m and it gets much colder at night. By German law when the temps get under 7'C (and past Nov 30th I think!>?) you need to have snow tires mounted. Or All Seasons. No one runs AS tirss though. They are lousy in summer AND winter! lol I think I will put mine on next month though. Usually most Germs leave them on from the end of Nov until mid April.
Right now our daytime highs are only about 15'C. Some nice days are as high as 20'C!
Lows are in the 7' to 9'C range. Soon we will need snow scrapers in the morning! lol
