For all my snow states and canada when are you guys going to swap your winter tires back to the summer only or all seasons?

I was trying to figure out when was a good time to make the change. Here in Detroit It will be in the 50's all week. I was thinking about changing my towards the end of next week. I was told march is when you swap. What about you guys?

I'm on the west side of the state and we still have snow on the ground and can expect lake effect into mid April. Going to change around mid April.

I believe the official reason is when the weather stays above 50.

You could go with what the university does, and that is they turn on the AC around May 1st.
