Just put mine on today... any day below 50 I was loosing traction... Even though the weather forecast is good for the next four days, it was time.

Yeah, for sure now's the time.....It'll cost a little wear on warm days but if it gets colder and snows unexpectedly, you'll be glad you switched.

We're a tad north (southern Ontario) of you guys, and I've noticed a lot of cars have changed already from All season tires. --- Our OEM summer rubber is not good in temps much below 50 at all.

+1...manufacturers state that under 45 degrees, summer tires should not be used.

Just put mine on today. Rather not wait till it's freezing outside.

Don't feel bad. I got the same tires, same price, almost a month ago too. I had to do it that early though...my summer rear tires were bald.

It should be mid 60's here through Thursday and predicted to get cold and snow Thursday night, so the winters setup goes on Thursday afternoon.
