View Full Version : summer tires schnipster 03-05-2009, 11:19 PM you think its too early? rux 03-05-2009, 11:30 PM 2 more weeks, at least ? risky business 03-05-2009, 11:38 PM i rock em all year long baby.... course its FLORIDA here. haha Maffu313 03-05-2009, 11:59 PM I'd say wait till end of march...depends on where you are though, if it's warm enough then sure. But here in Toronto, not yet =( still below zero right now, supposed to go up to 16 C tomorrow but it'll probably drop again soon. Thief 03-06-2009, 12:10 AM April 1st for me! maskedferret 03-06-2009, 01:52 AM Temps for the next 5 days are showing consistency over 60 here in MO (that's saying a lot). My new tires come in tomorrow, and the first autocross event is in 3 weeks... gotta get them broken in, so they're going on ASAP! rotarygreg 03-06-2009, 07:18 AM schnipster, summer tires should come out when temps are over 7 degrees for good. summer tires do not work well and traction is very unpredictable under 7 degrees. even if its warm during the day the temps are still dropping alot at night you could be in trouble if you go out late and try some spirited driving. Maffu313 03-06-2009, 09:09 AM Right now actually I'm just worried that it's too warm for my winter tires, it's 16 C today in toronto, but it's supposed to drop back down in a week or so? at least I'm expecting it to. Huey52 03-06-2009, 09:33 AM No earlier than April 1st for me. Rotary Mike 03-06-2009, 10:41 AM April 1st for me. My new tires do not like temps below 10 degrees StealthTL 03-06-2009, 10:43 AM Yes, ten degrees celsius, so May27th for me:eyetwitch Huey52 03-06-2009, 11:03 AM ^ sure nice that we have a resident "RX-8 Arctic environmental tester.'" ;) dozer 03-06-2009, 11:05 AM i already have mine on ;) Sanguine 03-06-2009, 11:14 AM At least I'm not the only one... As much as I hate the tires I have, they will not slide unless I'm really, really trying to. In actual snow they are useless but they grip better in the cold than my winters when things are dry. MyRXdrug 03-06-2009, 11:50 AM -23 celcius here today. So I don't think anytime soon. sw-ontarioguy 03-06-2009, 11:51 AM I just bought my 8 (should be picking it up today) and they put new summers on for safety, damn snow better stay away. schnipster 03-06-2009, 08:15 PM put the summers on tonight....yeah baby shazy 03-06-2009, 08:57 PM 5 Degrees celsius in Brossard!!!!!!
