lol...a little unexpected snow can really change the mood on wheel swapping in March!

my winter tires are basically shot, so I'm going to run mine for a while as I need to replace one of my summer wheels anyway. No rush!

One is supposed to change one's tires?

But in all seriousness, I kept my bald all seasons on all winter. It allowed me to have a bit of fun, yet still somehow there was traction, the Quattro probably helped. I s'pose that's the difference of living on the Island in comparison to snow ravaged regions such as Ontario or my former residence, the Interior of B.C.

So I'm thinking of changing my wheels this weekend. What do you guys think? or should I hold off a bit?

The sun is tempting me BIG time!

I too am tempted and if time permits will be changing them this weekend as well. I really think the snow is over.

Almost lost it in that storm last week, glad I kept the snows on. The next 14 day trend (Barrie) is above freezing 2 days from now, safe to go in my opinion.

When the weather is 7 degrees or above for a couple of days is a good point to change them. I use all seasons, but id do it this weekend...for sure.

When I lived in Toronto, it was mid April. Now in Whistler, it is as late in April as possible.
