When are YOU taking off your winter wheels?

As the title says...

When will you take off the winter wheels/tires and go back to your regular setup?

ghueser · 03-09-2015, 07:16 AM

Where I live in the Midwest, probably not until April. Summer tires don't like temps below 45°.

Hi Phil,

As I live outside of Philly in NJ, we usually get some NorEaster in March. I go to Summer set when temps are above 40. Usually around April 1st

PhilT3 · 03-09-2015, 04:16 PM

Looking at the extended forecast... It looks like the temps are going to stay in the mid-upper 40's average. http://www.timeanddate.com/weather/usa/philadelphia/ext

Michelin states winter tires should be used when the temps are CONSISTENTLY BELOW 44 degrees.

I think I may change mine this week.

I'm anxious to get my HRE's on! Lol.

+1. Temps are still consistently below 40 degrees for me in northern NJ for my morning drive to the train station.

My buddy talked me out of changing them just yet.

I'm going to wait until the 29th.

Yeah, yeah... 05mdriver smacked some sense into me! The nice weather lately got me jazzed up.

I changed mine out yesterday, it's the earliest in 2 years! The first year I used the stock set up and that was an adventure for about 3 weeks. Of course, this is for my E92 and they're the stock comp wheels. But, feels better. Now just have to figure out how to offload my winter setup for the M3. Hate to do Craigslist. The M5 is on a boat finally, so will need room for those winter wheels next winter.
