Just wondering if people are running lower octane tunes for the winter or not. I decided to bump down to 91 to be safe for the winter blends but not sure if it is really necessary or not

Our most recent tune (V10) which it appears that you have, is a fantastic all weather, year round tune. We do see customers step down from the 93 to 91 octane tunes
as a precautionary measure, mostly for inclement weather instances. But otherwise you are perfectly fine running the v10 year round!
I don't understand why the need to "detune" for inclement weather. Just press less on the skinny pedal..

To each their own in this case. It is a preference case, and is purely based on driving habits.

My lead foot is impervious to inclement weather.

I only have enough leg strength to keep it off the pedal long enough to reach operating temps, at which point I'm forced to release the weight. Maybe I should start working out.
