So what do you guys do about insurance for the months you store the s? I have a DD that intend to use throughout winter ( I have a set of snow ties for the dd ). I do not intend to drive the s2k when there is any snow or salt on the road, but I do want to enjoy it until that day comes. So do you suspend the insurance for winter? Is it for o pre specified number of months? What kind of savings are we talking about here?
I change my insurance to storage while it's put away, when I get it out I reinstate it. Very easy process.
On my policy, it saves about $80 per month by changing it. You're still covered for loss, but not covered if the loss is from driving it.

I washed mine yesterday, put it in the garage and put the cover on it, so I'm probably done. Now I just need to take my summer tires off of my EP3 before I wake up to snow on the ground one morning.

i've been starting to question this also for my SI. I typically but my snow tires on at thanksgiving, but i'm thinking of putting it off until early December... but maybe thats a mistake to wait that long, hehe

I will have to call my agent and inquire about it. I just renewed about a month ago, I was not ready to call it quits yet.

I have heard that snow tires wear down much quicker If driven in temps over 55F. I usually wait until after thanksgiving weekend. Slim chances of getting a snowfall that results in any accumulation prior to that. The only downside is that the wrenches feel much colder.
