Sounds about right.... I might wait a little longer depending on the weather and any freak snow storms.

I recommend Tire District... They're at 400 and Langstaff area. I bought my winter tires and wheels from them and the prices are very good.
If i'm feeling lazy I will be going back to get my wheels switched back to summers/stock.

Then on Wednesday i had to take a cab home cuz i didnt want to get stuck on the hill going up the Gardiner at Spadina....

I saw one C63 on Bloor outside of Holt Renfrew about 3 or 4 weeks ago just as the snow started coming down. I'm guessing he had winter tires.

Summers go back on this weekend.
Please no April snow. If I lived East of Vancouver, I wouldn't put my winters away till mid May.

My plan is after a few days of coNsistent warm weather, a long term forecast that has no snow, and after a good rain to get the salt off the road.

I didn't switch tires around and still have my summer performance tires on; For Toronto, it said to have some more snow this week, so I won't bring out my car until mid-April.

I will be putting mine in May when the car will go out from storage... too many potholes in Ottawa to take a chance! I also need to find time to install my springs & CF exterior kit in May.

Unfortunately it doesn't look a lot better this year. 10cm more snow this weekend!

I wonder if AMG has a snowplow conversion kit

Still expecting more snow here in NB. Our road is sanded not salted and it is still covered in sand. Might be a while yet.

The slush is brutal, because winter tires don't help at all. Everyone that didn't have AWD was getting stuck.

I had to convert my car to FWD by driving backwards to get thru some of the foot high slush! lol
