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.

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..

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:

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?

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:

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...
