When do you put on your winters in VA/MD/PA?
Curious as I'm a transplant from NC to MD...
Also because I don't want to have to cart them from the garage to the basement when I pick them up today if I'm going to end up putting them on in a few weeks....

I watch the weather and prefer to wait as long as possible. It has been staying pretty warm here well into sometimes Nov. That being said, usually around Nov 1. As long as temps don’t go into 40s you’re good.

What are asking? Whether you'll be okay with MPSS in the snow? No, you will not be okay. But then you mentioned your garage floor and heater, so are you also asking about storing your X6M over the winter (but I doubt that's what your are asking bc why would you do that with an awd suv?). OP, I usually wait until well after Thanksgiving, and you're not too far from me.

I thought he was referring to his nut SAC
Enjoy the car year round. In a few years you'll be ready for something else and won't even remember your SAC!!

Vehicles should be driven, not garaged!
Thanks for the input all. It'll be sometime in NOV I put them on, just picked them up from the local tire shop and they are ready to go... This gives me time this winter to get my Vossen's ceramic coated too, maybe I need to do the brake calipers as well...

For me I drive my SUVs year round and the M3 stays garaged for good days. Winters go on Nov/Dec, I watch the weather to determine. Stored in my garage and I put them on myself so can easily do it overnight if I know its going to snow earlier than anticipated. |

Well, I hate to say it but it's that time of year. Temps here starting Friday night will be in the 30s. Taking off my big girl wheels and putting on my winters Thursday.
Just in time for the weekend I dread all year long - Clock change. My evil twin is about to come back, I hate that cranky bitch.

Yah. My winters are on and wow is the handling impaired. Bouncy in turns and lacks sharpness all around. I can run in Sport+ on bumpy roads no problem. Straight line fine !!!

Anyone have a preference over the Pirelli Scorpion's vs Yoko BlueEarth? Do the Pirelli's warrant the extra money?

I don't think so. I've had no issues on my Yoko's. It's winter, no need to drive insanely hard.
