Well, the calendar says "Spring", but the temperature in my area near Boston is still in the 20's, but no snow in the long range forecast. I'm getting itchy to remove the Blizzaks.

 

Don't use them up here. Of course, this winter all of our snowstorms hit you down there!

 

yah, maybe this weekend. not sure yet. will need to check weatherchannel for the following weeks forecast.

 

I don't know Fit Charlie, I seem to remember some pretty good size storms hitting 603-Land,

 

I wait until the temp is over 45 ish

 

I'm so antsy to swap my wheels because driving on pavement with winters is so meh. However, it still is snowing occasionally and three is ice. Its rare to still see snow this late in April. I'm probably gonna get an alignment done because of the bumpy winter driving.

 

Week after next here. I can't wait to try these. I have had them since Jan. Should we get another storm I will just stay home or take the van.

 

looking good, black3sr.




im yanking off the snows on the 09 tonight. will swap my '12 maybe next weekend.

 

Keeping my fingers crossed they don't vibrate etc like the Rays I had a couple years ago.

 

Just completed the job today. Temp was pushing 60 so I just did it. I rode on the Blizzaks for 2000 miles since early December so I had plenty of opportunities to experience their excellent snow performance. Good to be back on the Kumho's though. Hopefully no more snow!

 

Most places tell you winter tires should be on whenever its +7c or lower consistently and off when higher. I have no idea what that is in F, too lazy to look it up

 

7C = 45F so I'm good. Now if this damn rain would just stop!

 

I usually leave them on until close to the last legal date. Its usually pretty close to the change of weather anyway.

The temps here are still erratic and we are still dipping below freezing sometimes. We just got an inch of snow a few days ago that had created some icy spots over night.

Here in PA the legal dates are Nov 1-April 15 so Ill be swapping mine close to last day.

 

^^agreed.
By then, most of the salt, gravel and other winter leftovers are off the roads.
Better to avoid rock damage to wheels!!

 

I was tempted to take them off and I got up this morning and my car was buried in about a foot of snow! Holy $@&t! Glad I still have the snows on. Were so sick of this weather up here in Canuckistan.

 

^ sigh.. Yep. c'mon summer...

 

I'd settle for a bit of Spring even. It was nice yesterday and 8C and sunny today. Just have to remember where the bigger potholes are as they are full of water now.

 

yah, hope all goes well.




for me, swapped the 09's to stock wheels/tires, washed the snows, and now stored away until Fall.


not sure when im going to do the '12 yet. i want to paint them another color...
