    Default So who is taking off their winters already?

    I can't believe I actually am part of this crowd, but even I have had enough and took my winters off last week! I just can't justify commuting on my studded winters anymore this year with the weather we have been having. I know we are going to still have a dump of snow at some point this spring but really, I can deal with a bad couple days on my all seasons...

    Anyone else in the early switch over camp this year?

    Looks like maybe one day of some mixed junk but the 14 day is looking pretty sweet! This is the first year since moving to Calgary in 2004 I haven't gotten depressed once over winter... Crazy weather!

    Yeah Bob, I'm thinking of doing mine Sunday. If there's a huge dump, I'll just swap back. I swapped winters on too early...what's a little bit more work.

    I am lucky that way. If it gets gross I can just get Kenny to switch mine back!

    If you are swapping tires and/or get a shop to do it, I'd hold off. But if you have a second set of wheels and can do it in your garage in 10 minutes you might as well. It's easy enough to go back if we hit winter again.

    Probably swap the E out and leave them on the Armada for a few more weeks.

    Didn't get around to swapping them at all last year... Maybe this year I'll get the summer rims repaired and actually put them on... Eventually


    But I have been taking advantage of the weather and getting a little bike and Datsun time in

    Thinking of swapping the tires on the wife's car this week. I think i'll wait till April for my car... they are performance winters so its atleast bearable right now.

    Remember that snow tires are not just for snow but also low temperatures ... even on bare pavement.

    Snows will work better than all-seasons (never mind summers) at temps below approx. +7C.

    I am really looking forward to switching back to my summers, in the snow the winters are great but on dry payment they let loose way to much. At least 10 times this winter I have been thinking why no go then notice my traction control is going bat shit crazy.
