I don't usually take mine off till late april,but its killing me...lol.I bought my X5 back in october,and it came with 22" Toyo's.I think I had them on for maybe a week before I bought new winters and rims.

I haven't taken the winters off the 320 yet so i just switch cars if it looks like snow.

You shouldn't change to summer tires until the average temp remains above +7C. It's not about the snow and ice but about how the rubber compounds in the tire grip the pavement. Winter tires are designed to grip pavement below +7C and summer tires above +7C. Drive safe!

I just put my 18 on a week ago and have had no problems with the Z tires on the roads

I was gonna put mine on Wednesday, but never got that far, haha. I will be doing it tomorrow though, there are some rocks left, but a good portion of areas, well where I drive have all the gravel gone, even though it did snow today...Didn't stay on the ground, just fell.

I might have put 400km on my 540 this winter,she stayed in the garage the winter as well.I've been driving it here and there for the past few weeks(when its nice and dry),and it feels so good to drive it again...lol.Still have the winters on,been roasting them from time to time,as I'm going to buy new winters for next year.

I'm keeping my winters on, because I'll be going to edmonton in a few weeks... and next weekend to terrace. it really really sucks. I've got some Great PZero Neros I want to get back on, but cant yet, even though today the temp was up to like 16 degrees here. :(

I did....I thought it was spring here in Calgary, and then it stated snowing, so I have my winters bakc on now...

It always just light snows here now, if I really wanted to I could rock summers, but there's no point in risking it!

Winters are off! I don't care that its really cold! It can be cold...as long as it doesnt snow.

hehe South-West Ontarians have it better in the temp. department... its been in the teens for a good period of time (and enough rain to wash off all the salt). My summer rims/tires went on last weekend.

But now I hear that we might get a day of snow later this week... ugh!

Was planning on doing it this weekend when I am in Pembroke.
But now they are calling for maybe snow this weekend in Montreal, and the highways are no good for my drive home especially with summer tires on snow... But I doubt it would last.

Yeah, traction was poor yesterday because of the snow and ice. Highway 2 was terrible between Nisku and Edmonton for accidents and rollovers.

hahaha snow on the ground today... first time we have seen any kind of snow around here in about 3 weeks!

I hope that it just melts away... I would hate for the city to spray salt!
