Had a discussion last night while out and about regarding when to put the summer tires back on. I say not for at least another month, he says anytime now. I'm itching to switch but I don't think we are done with snow, even though it's been warming up. When do you plan on switching out?

with as much snow as we have, probably late april.

Going to be at least a month for me. There is just no traction...snow or not...while the weather is as cold as it is. `

I took my SS out yesterday and yeah, it's pretty easy to slide around the corners.
Anyone know what the ideal temperature is for the stock pirelli's?

above 5c, or so i have been advised, they are pretty much hockey pucks anywhere close to freezing.

I'm running my invos now they're fine just use caution around corners or accelerating hard like I do right dragon22 ?lmao

I figure mid to late April should be fine but we always get a good spring dump of snow so will just wait and see. My car is my dd and I need it for work so hate change over too soon.

Dragon22, do you park along 10th ave downtown under the Ctrain bridge?

I see a silver camaro there daily, wondering if the person is on here.

That's not me. I am lucky and don't have to take my car to work. If they ever take the shop truck away from me, I'll be broken hearted. LOL

Ahh, well I'll just have to keep a look out for ya then!

NFRNOSS · 03-24-2013, 09:06 PM

I'll be driving mine to work all week. I can't wait any more!

smarbrit · 03-24-2013, 09:20 PM

I'm out daily in mine. I've driven mine all winter and still get crazy adrenaline rushes in it, just can't wait for summer driving!
