when do you plan on switching from winters?

[froggy]

Now that ground hogs day is upon us I was begining to wonder when people are considering changing back to their summer setup, and what that will be.
For myself I plan on getting my summer set up by the end of March break, assuming I get them from the store in time.

[ThucP]

April or when they get some deals on rim/tire package going on.

[Thrizzl3]

first week of april

[aris]

probaly first week of april i am going to put my new rims on......depends on the weather and if all the snow is gone by then

[dentinger]

as soon as the majority of the snow melts, and the average temp is aorund 8-10*C

[MAZDA Kitten]

I always do it the first week of April :)

[3GFX]

I put down May 24 but it all depends on the weather. I don't change until we get consistent weather above 7'C at night. Summer tires aren't recommended to be used at temperatures under 7. So to get the best performance and keep salt off my rims, I wait until its generall nice and warm.

Another option with rims is to wait until its warm and rain has washed all the salt and snow off the roads.

[JordanAndrew]

May long for the win! I'm hoping to pick up new rims this summer for my 2009 mazda 3 GT sedan.

[Flagrum_3]

I'm just waiting to see what the Groundhog predicts! ...then I'll decide :chuckle

Predicted 6 more weeks...at least from what I read from the following page...

Not sure when I'll switch...might be first week of April like many others...Who knows...

All are poll-less though.... :gone

[btown-mazda]

1st week of April, can't come soon enough

[Harbour Rat]

I chose the first week of April but that will depend on how the weather cooperates. If winter, snow, icy roads etc are still happening I'll keep the winter tires on. But I sure hope I've got the summer tires back on before May.

[DumpInfo]

I'm thinking as soon as it gets warmer. Everyone is eager to throw away those steelies lol

[Cosmo77]

You guys are wimps....I was on my bike in March last year!

[Hives]

After final exams

[Reegs]

I believe one of the factors that make winter tires more useful than summer tires is the fact that the rubber compound is softer, and can grip the road easier. So once the temperature is warm enough and the summer tires are effective again, I generally make the switch then. I would say when the temperature is consistently around 5-7 degrees C.

[p-o-g-i]

I think most would agree that when the weather is steady above 0C (around 10C or so), then that's when they'll put thier summer setup on.

I voted for at least May24, only because there was no option between that and 1st week of April. I'm actually aiming for the middle of May. If you recall, the last snow fall last year occurred in the first week of May....

[froggy]

oops sorry about that I didn't realize that I left almost a 2 month gap between options I'd fix that but i'm not sure if I can add an option to the poll at this time. Moderators help!!!!???

[x_o_k_x]

As soon as most of the snow is gone, then I'll change mines

[mazdathree]

mine is usually 1st or 2nd week of April...

[Tsirpas]

I'm thinking when the avg temperature gets above 5 degrees...

Still trying to decide if I want 19's or 18's lol

[1flycdnM3]

mine is usually 1st or 2nd week of April...

I lean closer to second or third week of April simply because i noticed last year that EVERYONE goes to get them swapped early April and i don't mind a few extra weeks on winter tires (since they grip better anyways, even though don't look as nice) :)

[_3G]

First week of April.

[bluemazda3]

whenever it get warm... maybe in late april

[-=phelan=-]

after march break

[mazdachris]

Changed my tires over yesterday. Just put my stock proxes and factory 16" rims back on. So, there "all" seasons. Did it early cause I am driving to Flordia next week. Did not want to drive 4500 kms on my Blizzaks. Feels good to have my tires back on. Even though they are nothing fancy.

[c_del]

Definitely first week of april, especially since mine are summers and not all seasons.

[Malcolm991]

I put my summers on yesterday, if it snows again I will put my winters back on, It only takes 20 minutes!

[Luxury_Tax]

1st week of May. I like to give the city time to fill in some of the monster pot holes that form during the winter.

[silentRAGE]

first week of April usually but then i think that is when everyone is changing theirs over.. so really depends on when the shop has time and when i can get an appointment

[Newlook]

For the past 3 years I change mine in the first/2nd week of April.

[starwind]

My general rule is winters are on by Hallowe'en and off by Easter (er... an April Easter... not those early March ones) and you're usually safe... but it really depends on the weather. I don't take them off until we are consistently getting over +7 C temperatures.

So while I chose the first week of April, it will probably be later... though who knows :-)

[VCM]

I can't wait until i put on my summer tires

[Thrizzl3]

sooo last week of march first week of april mine are going on :)

[MistaChin]

April 20th, 4:20pm

[condor888000]

1. When there has been enough rain to wash the salt and sand off the roads. Nice wheels...don't want to get covered in crap.
2. When temperatures are warm enough that the tires aren't rocks. Generally for Summers/All seasons this is said to be about 7*C. I'll take 5*C if the salt is washed away though.
3. Going by a date is useless, because you have no idea what weather will come afterwards.

Ugh....

[gretzky]

i just want winter to end!!!! i want my mods to get on

[Thrizzl3]

If you are putting on all seasons I think you'll be safe, even if we get some more snow it shouldn't be any heavy accumulations, and your all seasons should be able to handle it. If you were putting on pure summer tires then I'd wait until it gets a little bit more consistent temperature wise

[p-o-g-i]

Already done..... switched over Friday of last week.

Normally I would wait till end of April...... but 1) it's been a mild winter.. and 2) will be at a show this weekend

[froggy]

did you post up any pics of the new setup yet?

[Terrible3]

I am changing over on the 13th. If it does snow I can just leave the car in the garage.

[Tizmee24]

Mine is already summer mode .. Just like my avatar :chuckle

[JSI]

NOW!!!!!!

Man I want my car back.

[Impressive]

I think the current weather warrants that as soon as I purchase my 3 I immediately put my summers on :P

Let's hope it stays this way.

[seelsy]

im waiting till april, Im North of toronto and we still have a fair amount of snow on the ground, roads are dry and bare but im waiting till all the snow melts and consistant temps to get my new rims on there :)

[FLIPDADY]

I'm sitting in front of my summers at work everytime I turn around I keep debating on when.....maybe tomorrow.

[blankets3]

im putting mine on right now, just stopped on the computer to see whats up on the internet lol

[bman13]

I think I MAY do the switch this week...EVEN THOUGH I'm hearing that there is supposed to be one more snowfall, I may just take my chances.....maybe as early as tomorrow :)

[SomeGuy]

I just put mine on tonight...eh, can always switch back if the weather looks bad.

[EvilEric]

When the weather stays above 8-10 consistantly so probably end of april

[p-o-g-i]

did you post up any pics of the new setup yet?

no not yet. I will post some pics some time towards the end of the week.

[mazdilla]

We all know that March comes in like a lamb and goes out like a lion.

4 years ago, we (Prince Edward County) had a snow day on April 4th for crying out loud!

Besides, I don't want to sandblast my new rims, so I'll wait for that rainfall that really cleans the roads. That one warm April shower that smells like dust.

I'm opting for the end of April.

[blankets3]

i only got 1/2 done lol ... fronts are summer backs are winter

[jonjon72]

Just changed over yesterday. The weather has been too good.

[Skip]

haha same here, i was due for an alignment and said hey...what the heck lol my summer rims have been sitting in my garage since october..and finally I get to see what they look like on my car

[sudz]

Just keep in mind if you get a winter tire credit from your insurance company, and you get in an accident between now and April 1st... they can deny you coverage.

[JSI]

^ What?

[froggy]

I think he's saying that if your insurance gives you a discount for having winter tires on, part of the deal is that you have them on until April 1st otherwise you are not following the "contract" hence they will not cover your accident?

[JSI]

Are you sure? I've not read through my entire insurance agreement to see if it actually states dates like that.

So say today it's +6°C and someone gets into an accident but because they have the winter tire discount and they have their all season/summer tires on their insurance company will deny the claim.

I would totally understand if the agreement actually states you must have winter tires on between specific dates but I don’t see how that can be true if it’s not actually in the document.

[blankets3]

insurance will find a way im sure, it sounds about right


heres my 1/2 ass job lol

you would have to check with either your insurance broker/company what the timeline or the policy is for qualifing for the winter tire discount and what it entails. If you call them up and say well looking at the long term forecast it appears that it is safe for me to put on my summer setup and they agree and fax over something to sign that coroborates that then it should be fine. Or they may not deny you coverage but they might ask to be reimbursed for the discount that you would have recieved because you had winter tires.

^Eeeeep!!

I'm planning to put mine on this upcoming Friday (19th). But we shall see.... may be in the works for some new tires so that might delay/expedite the process a couple days.

[Zoom Zoom Boy]

I usually change them out at the end of the first week of April. However, this year, I'll be changing them out before the end of March. Maybe next week in fact.

[redsnoopy04]

there shouldnt be anymore but then again, this is Canada...

That's true...came back last night from TO (going home to Guelph) and once we hit Guelph, WET SNOW! What the....yeah, think I am holding off on switching the tires for another couple of weeks...

[-RJ3-]

So far the upcoming week is double digits.. I slapped on the summers tonight at . Gonna lower it tomorrow.

I just called my mechanic where I store my summers. I'm always afraid of getting caught in a snow storm in March/April. But since I'm from Newfoundland - I guess it's understandable. But living here in Ontario, I'm having them switched to my summer's this week. Yippeee: RIMS! 17"!! I can't wait to set up my car and take fancy pictures like you all do. lol.

If it does snow, I'll just end up taking the bus (again) to work. No biggie.

[-RJ3-]

If there is bad weather I hope its next wednesday because my parents will be leaving the corolla for me :chuckle

[Ogata]

crap.. i just changed mine today and forgot to check the weather....*shakes fist* I hope they are wrong when it comes to next weeks weather.

[Elusivellama]

I want to switch on the 26th (Sat.), this week's weather looks like flurries and other stuff. I expect to see a major difference in handling once the 18" and SP tires go on!

[Booter22]

[Booter22]

just think positive.. no snow :P

[froggy]

Remember people, summers operate at a higher temperature. It's fricking cold this week and next.

especially if your summers are "summer Only" If you're running all seasons then you should be ok for times like this. I'm running pure summers so i'm not going to switch for a while. weather like this though does make me consider getting a 3rd set of rims and tires mounted with all seasons for march/april and october/november.

Oh an btw good job on resurecting this thread from the dead! we need to make a "back from the dead" emoticon

i hear you on that one john

[Jackal]

Thank god I waited...

[Webs]

I'm picking up my new Sport GS Friday and the dealer asked me which set I wanted put on. I went with summer....

[jova87]

i might take my winters off 1st week of april but my new enkeis will be sleeping in my guest room till more potholes are filled in my area.

[Booter22]

i had to take the truck.. good thing because i sat in traffic for 2.5 hours to get to work today. what a mission!

[bluemazda3]

damn Hamilton got an ass whooping... must have been atleast 15cm+..

[Rob23]

i was going to change them last weekend, then changed my mind. now im just waiting till april.

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Changed mine early this year based on an oil change...

last week, luckily I have had a few days off this week.

[SKYMP3]

Was going to do it on April 1st, but the temperature is not keeping above 7c.....so will wait a bit.

Holding off on the summers until after May 24 weekend

[rage2021]

hows the weather next week, was hoping to do it today but i think its still far too gold, man sometimes Canada...

[G-daddy]

From the weather, next weekend should be fine. It's looking to start warming up fine. 10 degrees by Saturday.

[Elusivellama]

I'm now waiting until the first week of April or middle of April. cold temps even with no snow are not good for summer tires.

[bluemazda3]

mid april for me

[SZ@Northern Performance]

Typically I like to wait for two things to happen;
1. Temperatures reach a constant of 7 degrees +
2. All the road salt has been washed away

Over the last couple of years it's usually been the end or april until those two things happen.

[Skip]

getting mine done today...lol wish me luck

[Hyperion]

Dam snow!

[n00bMeiSter]

I think I'll be waiting for the second weekend of april now.....

[ParsM3GT]

tomorrow. :D

[3GFX]

Exam time usually meant rim time for me, but I think I'm gonna hold out a bit longer this year. The roads are horrible here in KW and my subdivision has houses being built everywhere with dust, mud and stones. Poor rims, and suspension...I won't make them suffer.

[Rob23]

i changed mine 3 days ago on thursday :)

[ZeroChalk]

Changed yesterday!

[sol_searchin]

Not sure where you live in kitchener, but kitchener is 10x better than the GTA when it comes to roads. I've yet to a pothole, so not sure where your coming from.

Not sure where you live in kitchener, but kitchener is 10x better than the GTA when it comes to roads. I've yet to a pothole, so not sure where your coming from.

Drive down university. The intersection of Uni and Weber is a pot hole party. Also Bridge is bad too.

[KenYork]

It actually takes so long to do with the stock jack.

I picked up a better jack from crappy tire for $20, and it only takes 30 minutes to do.

[n00bMeiSter]

I'm hoping to put mine on this saturday.... we'll see....

[Kaptain Sloth]

This Saturday! 14 degrees!

I don't use my stock jack.. I got 2 jacks at home...

The reason why it took me so long is cause I check my brakes make sure their good and I also Spary rust check all inside the wheels wells and suspension.

[ColomboM3]

[Zoom Zoom Boy]

Appointment is for tomorrow morning at Simply for new tires, mounting of summer rims and repainting and decaling the calipers.

I also just spent the last 3 hours washing and waxing my summer rims. Of course, we are supposed to get 20-30mm of rain tomorrow... FML. :complain

Same wax I use on the car body. Meguiar's NXT2.0 Tech Wax twice a year (spring and fall) and then I use the Ice wax/detailer spray as a quick detailer throughout the summer.



Looking good though :thumbsup

Thanks and great meeting you also. Surprised at how good your rims looked. Will have to look into playing with Plastidip for sure.

[RTEnthusiast]

Snow? Well... that was freakin' pointless!
