When To Switch To Winter Tires... - Drivesthebeast - 10-01-2006
Well, seeing as it's already getting cold here in Pet, I'm considering putting the winter tires on the car already...it's just a matter of when.
Anyone else already switched?

I haven't done mine yet, but i'm thinkin i'll do it in the next couple of weeks. They'll definately be switched by halloween.

Nope. I usually wait till mid-late oct or when the first snowfall hits.

I'm waiting to see when is a good time to sell this extra brand new set of winter tyres of mine for the fucus
When To Switch To Winter Tires... - NikiterZTS - 10-01-2006
no point of switching them when there's no snow man......winter tires are not that good on gas milege.....plus u don't get that kind of driving as you always want
they r ment for snow not for halloween weather
When To Switch To Winter Tires... - Drivesthebeast - 10-01-2006
Yeah, but the winter tires I have are designed for when the roads are bare too...
That, and it snows here sooner and longer than other parts of Ontario...

I have Falken tires so I guess I'll do mine on December 1st - what day do you have planned for everyone else?

Well seeing that my Fuzion's really suck in the snow I better start thinking about buying some rims and tires. I am thinking of getting some used Tempo or Contour rims in either 14" or 15". Snow tires are on sale all over the place right now so I better get on the ball.
Paolo, what do you want to sell?
When To Switch To Winter Tires... - NikiterZTS - 10-02-2006
honestly my Focus won't see all season tires any more...last winter i almost killed myself 10 times during snow time....so from now its always gonna be 2 sets summer and snow
When To Switch To Winter Tires... - MAlby7 - 10-02-2006
I usually wait until the first semi-serious snowfall. Maybe mid november I'll start contemplating it.
When To Switch To Winter Tires... - darkpuppet - 10-02-2006
I'll probably switch nov1 .. if just to save on the tread wear...
When To Switch To Winter Tires... - CanadaSVT - 10-05-2006
I switch when the daytime highs are under 5C. My summer tires suck in the cold and the last thing I need is the back end passing me in a corner or sliding through an intersection. Winter tires are just as much for the cold as the snow.
When To Switch To Winter Tires... - ANTHONYD - 10-06-2006
I may do mine this weekend...only because I have nothing else better to do.
When To Switch To Winter Tires... - Drivesthebeast - 10-06-2006
I was thinking of changing mine this wkd or next...but it can't decide WTF to do here in Renfrew county lately...
1/2 day of rain and maybe 10C...followed by mixed cloud and sun and like 15C
1 day of maybe 3-5C, then the next day is almost 20C +....
I think it WILL snow here if I switch my rims to the 15's. It almost ALWAYS rains bad here when I wash my car, it storms and hails when I wax it....so why not snow next?
:P
