    The North American Tire Engineers Society recommends not changing to winter air until there has been 10 days of an average daily temperature of 58 to 62 degrees. According to them, switching to early affects the vapor air density and increases the risk of blowouts.

    or park at the entrance to the place, effectively blocking the whole drive. That way, no one get's in or out, until you are ready to move.
