The long range forecast here in Southern Ontario looks promising! I think it's time to take off the snow tires.
What's the thinking amongst my fellow Canadians? Winter over yet? -------------------- A proud member of the club.

I'm probably going to hold out until early April. The forecast called for snow last night (thankfully they were wrong) - so who knows what's going to come up. I dunno this year's been so messed up I figure I'm better off leaving them on a little too long than a little too short.

I'm keeping them on until the risk of frost gets lower, my Azenis don't like freezing temperatures, another 3 weeks at least for moi.

That depends... what are your non-winter tires??? Are they all-season? If so, go for it!

Yeah.. it snowed about 5cm here yesterday... our long range still has the median daily high in single digits and they are calling for snow again in the next few days so I'm waiting a couple more weeks at least. BUT I'm planning my Summer tires

We got hit with about 9" of snow here in south west Nova Scotia yesterday. I think that's probably it for the snow once it's gone though.

They say you should leave the snows on until the average tempeture when you drive is roughly 7 degrees celcius. Though that seem a little high to me

I know I'm leaving my winters on for a while
Mainly because I'll have to buy some new summers (I'm looking at you Sciphi) and get them mounted --------------------    carPC Build Thread | My Elantra Site | My Fiero Site | My WebSite | Donate here to keep ElantraClub online and growing. |

Sarge, I will have to go home to pick the wheels/tires up, then drag them up to school. I have to run some stuff home anyhow, so I can have them in Buffalo shortly.
