I'm in the same boat. I think we're good! Speaking of I need to order new rears again.

I actually put my winters on a little too early this year because i caught a flat with my summers and didn't wanna buy new tires just to use for a couple weeks. maybe i'll only get 1 season out of these because they've been on too long lol

I was hoping so, but I seen they just put down salt on the streets here in Toronto this morning

I don't know what to say, this year winter has held on way too long.

Never regret that... I was trying to milk out a few more weeks since my summers were near shot anyway... the cold snap came... then tht young, dumb deer came and I swear the extra 5 feet of better braking distance had I had winters on would have saved us both...

I'm putting mine on tomorrow here in NYC. I'm hoping there is not another "freak Spring snowfall" this year. It will be nice to have summer rubber on!

I've put my summers back last week, and of course I hit a snowstorm last weekend. I think we're good now, but I did sh*t my pants a little.

It is best to wait until temperatures in all driving conditions are > 7C or 45F. If they are not use due care and caution.

Only problem in Northeast is dealing with all the potholes! I wait until May 1st to allow time for DPW to fill some holes.

I can't wait to get and put my new wheels and tires on.

Switching either this weekend or next here in NYC. Miss the multispokes.

Potholes are a bish though...
