Winter is almost over!

[baronsamedi]

Who else is bustin out the summer wheels at the end of the month? Such a good winter, hardly any snow but the boarding was good :thumbsup:

Hopefully we won't get a sudden storm out for nowhere :(

[statick]

i doubt winter is completley over, give it a couple of weeks.

[Police]

mines not going back on till atleast mid-end of march, last year i put mine on in april. Hopefully a lil earlier this year lol. This is Calgary man you never know what to expect.:nut:

[240droptop]

I'm waiting till theres no sign of snow and the gravel and salt is off the roads

[nismodrifter]

going to be at least the last week of april/first week of May until my wheels go on and it gets dropped. Last exam is on the 26th of April woo, drive home....sleep a couple hours...then install mods the next morning :D haha

[Kaos]

Dont get too excited.
Calgary weather is unpredictable.
It could snow in the middle of april.
I think that happened in 2003? :dunno:

Sorry about the loss. :banghead:
I wouldnt have remembered exactly what month it was.
I was in Vancouver where it was 20 degrees :devil:

[oddjob]

I'm getting some bigger tires next week so I think I'll bust out the 17 inch rims. Hub caps don't suite my car at all. :D

[JAYMEZ]

Im gonna throw on mine in Mid April. But it all depends on how the weather is next month.

[danno]

i'm going to aim for mid to end of april. with my wheels.
they start street cleaning in june or july right??

[ZorroAMG]

Are you new? We WILL get snow in April, and possibly May. My wheels only go on when gravel=gone - Mid May. Gives you 6 gravel free months of summer rolling stock.

Good point, but its probably just going to be a little bit which I don't mind at all. :D

This weeks weather looks very nice. Usually when it snows, its gone within a couple days.

[Def_3]

i would be more concerned with gravel, n street cleaning isnt until end of April or so...

[lsc2g]

yea i'm not driving my car until the gravel is gone.. this winter has been really good for the roads for sure.. i haven't driven my car since november though and not a bit sorry with the amount of crap on the roads right now.. hopefully they sweep that crap up in april so i can at least get 6 months out of my good car:cry:

[Ekliptix]

Yea, I hate winter.

[GTS Jeff]

summer rubber is useless in this weather. my 712s dont grip worth a damn on dry pavement when its still this cold out.

[7thgenvic]

im waiting till may! thats the only smart time to put them back on! wait.... my cars sitting on blocks i guess i have to wait till may to even drive the damn thing! heheh

[Lo)2enz0]

the 240sx will be comming out hopefully in late march if everything is looking ok. from the looks of it we may be ok. but I am going to keep the advans off untill may.

[Tilly]

like most of you said.. the car doesn't come out until the gravel is gone - snow or no snow. frozen water i can deal with, even salt that can be washed away, but not big chips in the paint.

[BokCh0y]

Rims go on in April/May for me pal. You know Calgary weather....one minute it's hot next it's cold......snow in June.......need i say more?

[Team_Mclaren]

word to everyone...^^^

car doesnt come out till late april/early may till the roads are clean up! And when it gets out the new rims are going on too!:D

[lam-boy]

just to let you guys know..its snowing right now. well it was snowing on my drive home.

[calgary350z]

I agree not till at least first or second week of May is safe to bring out the goods

[BigC]

Must be nice to even be considering it! Here in Saskatchewan I wouldn't think of drivig my nice car or putting on wheels anytime soon... no hints of spring fever around here. Yeah.. it sucks here. :cry:

[FiveFreshFish]

Don't do it! That year, I changed my tires in mid-April and thought I was safe.

[mcshow]

The problem now is, is it actually near spring or are we just in the middle of a month-long chinook?
