[three.eighteen.]

[EnRich]

I put mine back on Late April early May... You put em on right now, your fucked...

Rich

HOw long you been living in Calgary... You know how un-predictable the weather is...

[three.eighteen.]

ive been living in calgary forever, just that spring seems to be coming early this year

[7thgenvic]

its so tempting to put them on right now, but knowing calgary, we're still going to get shit weather for the next couople weeks!!!

Dude, is snowing hard in edmonton right now, im sure some of that will get down your way. HOLD OFF.

[rc2002]

Late May. We always get dumped on for the Victoria Day long weekend. I remember that happened for the last two years because I actually missed work both times.

[bigboom]

ok heres another question...who hasnt taken their wheels off? :)

[Dirty_SOHC]

I'm going to wait till the end of march

[MM99lude]

[Jynx]

Same

[JAYMEZ]

Mid april , then im putting mine back on

[ZorroAMG]

Another concern besides lack of grip, for me is that all the bullshit gravel on the road will fuck up a nice finish, so I will wait till sweeps are done, mid-May..

[szw]

2 weeks ago.

[BigShow]

Never took mine off... and have already been to Alberta Wheel Repair twice in the last few months.... it's the damn potholes though :banghead:

[RC-Cola]

I'm very tempted, but the long term forecast is calling for big snow on Monday & Tuesday...

[ShOwOfF]

thinkin mid to late march.

[3g4me]

I put mine on but ill be taking em off as soon as i see mad snow. I do this quite often:rolleyes: But i just dont see much point in paying so much $ for wheels that i can only have on my car for 4 months of the year.:bullshit:

[Seanith]

I put mine on last april, and i know a couple weeks later or so it snowed like mad. So probably late april this year.. maybe when exams are done/ during exam week?

[bigboom]

haha mine are still on too...but they are factory with summer rubber so i guess im not as worried, i just take it real easy :)

[Moe Man]

i got my rims like 2 days before it snowed then i had to take them off.......i will put mine on when i repaint my car and slam it(spring break)

[EK 2.0]

I never took my Z rated's off...

Gots to LOVE the AWD...

[djfob]

I usually put them on in April and when it snows hard I just swap the fronts off for my winters. Gotta love the ghetto look of winters in the front and rims on the back.:rofl:

How is Alberta Wheel Repair? I curbed one of my rear 18"s last october and have yet to take it in to get fixed... any other places people can recommend

[itsnotaDUB]

my rims are on, but the car hasnt seen the streets since nov.1st.. i will start driving maybe in a month or so....

[CivicDXR]

I put mine on about a 2 weeks ago, and I was surprised, the Kumho 711's aren't actually that bad on snow and ice...

driving around today sucked though...

[cocoabrova]

Winter tires went back on the Mazda this morning @3:00 AM and on the Corolla this afternoon....
:banghead::thumbsdow

[Seanith]

[Ben]
