Last year I put on the summer tires 1 week too early. I'm willing to bet you're a tad early too.

Well, since I never changed from the summers (Neogen m&s) 180 tread.
I guess your both late.
Nice set of wheels, it appears you did a full detail too.

I taunted her on Friday when I fully cleaned my car and went for a nice drive. Now it's dirty again. SIGH

I'm going to switch to my summer tires/wheels for the trip to AMVIV. Since the tires are getting toward EOL (end of life), I'll probably buy a new set now, even though I could get a few thousand miles out of them. New summer tires will do better than almost worn summer tires in bad weather. My winter tires are still very young, but the wheels they're mounted on are the common stock type (no offense).

I think it's time to buy my summer wheels and tires. I'm keeping the snows on my oem wheels.

I rolled around in mine today and was fine. They handled the wet/slick pretty well. Not like the JCW Dunlops I had on the Summer rims.
PS I'll have those Dunlops for sale here when I get back from AMVIV
