Finally took my appointment for my winter tires. Just before december .

Also, the IMA inhibit switch is doing some good! Before the switch I had to charge every week. Now I can do 2 weeks on the same charge. The switch is a cheap but really good way to use to electric motor only when you wan't it, and stop it from working when you don't want to.

Its just sad I didn't do it earlier... I could see if it helped on MPG. But with falling temps and lot more wind, its very difficult to detect to difference. Saving the battery and some gas at the same time .

EDIT : I will probably don't do a killswitch because it seems you can't bump start when you kill with the switch.
