Wondering when people were thinking of removing the winter boots and putting the summer tires back on? I know it is still early and we can get a few more storms in southern ontario but I am itching to put her into some corners with the summers on.

 

This week, and drive my Suburban if it snows some more.

The streets here are snow free now, don't want to wear my soft winter boots out.

It's too early if it's your only car.

 

I would say keep it on if it's your DD.

You never know when mothernature is going to hit us with another snowfall.

I wish I can take me car out!...

 

No snows here....
Just the sweet sound of the spray yesterday, 10lbs gone buh-bye

 

u mean NAWZZZZ?lol

 

Well mine is stored for winter, but I am not taking it out until 1) the snow is gone and 2) at least 1 good rain after that to clean off the salt.

 

With the ridiculous winter we're going through, my guess would be August sometime. Right around the time I take my bike out of storage...

 

August? are you serious? your missing the entire summer!

Im itching to put them on, I usually had them on by March 13th, but its just too cold still. Im thinking maybe this weekend.

 

Well, no...I was being facetious. My guess would be the second or third week of April, but a freak snowfall into May wouldn't surprise me entirely. Remember that winter tires are more than just about the tread pattern and dealing with snow, sleet, or ice. The compound of the rubber is designed to provide better traction at anything below +7 C, which is the tipping point between a dedicated winter tire and an all-season or summer tire as far as tire stiffness goes. Until the temperature gets above that and pretty much stays there, you're giving up that advantage that a winter tire would still provide you.

 

There is always 1 or 2 suprise snow storms in March. Last year we had one in April.

Winter tires wont wear prematurely if temps stay below 8c IMO.

I usually wait until its consitently over 8c or early april.

 

Mid to late April is typical for a daily driver

 

I agree with that, I prolly won't put my summer tires on my 8 until late April either.

 

I am hitting Mid Ohio (can't wait) April 5-6th so the snow boots will be gone by the end of the month

 

I usually change whenever the temperature stays in the positives and the salt is gone. Somewhere around the beginning of April.

*sigh* I really hope you guys stick with your winter boots atleast till end of April!

 

mine are off, man it feels good

 

Dude, it's gonna snow tomorrow!

 

not in Windsor we have so much polution snow never actually lands

 

I'm taking mine off in a week or so. My lease is up in a couple of months and I have to put some new tires on the 8. I might as well get some use out of them before I send the car back.

 

Hey Rotten, what's your next car going to be?

 

not an rx8 lol...

 

it's snowing now...
