Whos doing there wheels too?

I'd still hold off a little while yet. I was out last night for a little run and the roads were nice and clear but they were slcik as hell. Every time I pushed the car more than half throttle it broke loose. It was deceptively slippery. And for for the record I run Goodyear Ultragrips right now which have some decent grip and they hold up well even on clear roads, so for it to be slipping al over last night it must have been slick. Just saying. Woudln't want anyone to throw on the summer tires and wreck their ride before the summer even gets here. No fun in that.

The day you throw your summers on is the day it's going to snowstorm. Happens to me everytime. Plus I don't think this weather is going to last.

Richard you definately called that one.
When I put my rims on, I was all happy.
15 minutes later (no joke) it started snowing.
Then everyday for the next week....
Driving on summer tires is not fun.

I think i might throw mine on this weekend... their all season's anyways... soooo it's not too too bad... but the roads are deceptively slippery... but that should clean up by then

[Mr_ET]

im from eastern canada so maybe i just think different but i'd wait unit late april to put them on.

i might put the wheels back on for racecity on the 14th and take them off the next day but well probably have a few more days of cold snowy weather and i don't wana take any chances.

this weather is tempting me so bad, but with all the gravel on the roads and the snow that could still come, i think it may be best to wait. aaagh!

Well, I only have one set of wheels on the C4's so yeah they're on. I'll swap to the 305's in late april. For the W124, the Carlsson's stay off until the gravel is gone.

been rocking mine for a while... kinda sketch though drivin to red deer every day for the past 2 weeks though.. weather is bad

I'll slap on my summers once they start cleaning the roads.

For most of you guys who have been in Calgary for a while you should know that we'll get periodical snow till May sometimes. I'm holding off until then for mine, but then again my summer's might as well be bald when I hit even the smallest patch of ice or snow, so not worth the risk.

Even yesterday my winters were breaking loose under anything more then light throttle and the roads seemed clear, it was almost like a thin layer of black ice or something. Deceptively slippery to say the least.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

this its safe to throw them on now?

[Altezza]

I'd say no.
