Take 'em off!

Winter tires, that is ! When will you put your summer tires back on?

I'm usually good to go around March break, but there's still tons of snow that melts during the day and freezes over night so the roads are awful going to work in the morning. Also looks like we might be getting some snow or freezing rain later this week .

So I'll probably stick with my winter tires 'till after easter at least.

Done. I went to a track day over the weekend and that prompted me to get out of the winter driving mode. I might have jumped the gun a bit, but then again, I don't live in the Artic Circle like you Canadians. It's been in the 30s and 40s here, but no snow. *knocks on wood*

In places that I've lived like Colorado or Chicago you can't always be sure that "winter" is over and that there won't be some freak May snow fall.
If you have another car for those days then it would be OK to change wheels.

Luckily I don't have to shovel snow anymore or change tires for anything but autocross and track events.

The weather here is pretty darn nice today. Got nothing to complain about.
Partly sunny, 75 degrees, slight trade winds.
