i already put mine on last weekend! LOL

 

thats what am running on my oem rays, how much did it cost you for 4 new tires?

 

I run my winters from early November to late March so will probably switch over in the next week or two, whenever I can hook up with my son to do all three cars at once.

Wayne, what tire do you run in summer? I'm only going to get one more season out of my OEM Turdanzas.

 

I switch around the same time.

 

is it bad to run winters on still when there is no snow?

 

In Calgary the cheapest quote so far that I've found is $1190 CDN (installed, taxes included) for a set of 4 - 245/40R19 Kumho Ecsta SPT. I'm assuming that you should find similar prices in Toronto.

 

when i bought my oem rays they came with it and it had almost a inch of tread left. looks like i got a good deal

 

As long is there is some frost left in the ground you should be fine with winters until 7C. After that they are supposed to wear pretty fast. It doesn't matter if there is snow on the ground, it is more of a temperature thing.

 

really? i always thought the opposite so id always put my summers back on quick. we been having nice weather here in toronto and hopefully it stays like this, i dont want to get stuck in the snow with these.

 

In Calgary we have oddball weather at the best of times. You can never rule out a foot of snow overnight in May. I want to find that fine line between keeping my winters on too long and putting summers on to early.

 

i was getting tired of looking at my car with winters on

 

I put my OEM wheels/tires back on last Sunday. I didn't like the feeling that I was rapidly wearing out my winters. We have had pretty clean dry roads for the better part of the past 4 weeks around here.

 

Aww man , you got ripped off! I paid $1180 6 weeks ago in Vancouver Pretty happy so far. Better grip, and a bit quieter than the OEM's.

 

are you talking about the same tires?

 

If you'd like to bring the wrath of the snow gods down upon us, g'head...

Without fail, we get one more significant snowfall right after I switch out my rubber, so I'm holding off until the end of March, at least...
