I will be putting mine on Early to mid November. I'm not running all-seasons anymore and don't trust the colder temps with my summers.
I switch over when the temps are consistently in the single digits. The Dunlops I have on this summer were actually all-seasons, so the 1-2 days of the week where the temp dips down to 9-10 doesn't really make a difference to me.
If I had summer performance tires on - I'd most likely be switching this weekend since its not raining. My last set had a summer compound that felt like Siht in colder weather - kinda plasticy (like the Zeller's running shoes I had to wear when I was younger.)
i put mine on already

Maybe I should change my post. I ended up putting mine on today.
in 2 weeks or so , usually mid November.

when we get a forecast with consistent single digits. often mid-late nov.
Probally next week... I like to switch mine over just before I shut the water off (outside) that way I can wash them before I put them in my shed
Like Default User.... When temps are staying in the single digits.
before they use salt on the road...

I change mid to late October when the night temperature is consistently single digit. I drive at night sometimes and having a winter setup at 7 C or below is what is most important.

I say late November.. At least that's what I did last year.. I need new winter tires, will be getting them soon.
I just threw a set on my RAV4 because we don't drive it nearly as much as the Mazda. The 3 is my commuter that gets me to work. I will put the winters on probably the first or second week of November.
When the temperature is consistant below 10 degrees
usually Mid-november just because i don't like winter tires
just thought I would throw this out there...a friend of mine who is with Dejardin Insurance told me that he saves 5% over the winter just because he called and told them that he has winter tires on his vehicle...just something to think about for when you do switch
Mine will go on when the weather is consistently around 7 degrees, after all thats typically when they become effective.
Usually the week after Remembrance Day but some years I've pushed it to the beginning of December, depending on the weather forecast.
Today for my wife's car. Probably Friday for my MS3, but usually mid-November is when I do the switch. However, I'll be out of town for a week and want the assurance of having them on the wife's car in the event of an early season storm or cold weather.
