I will probably put mine back on end of march/early april. You would probably be fine putting them on in mid march or so, but I want to wait for it to warm up a little bit more so that I am confident it will be above 55 degrees most of the time. I also and trying to preserve treadlife on those tires as much as I can, I want to make them last the summer before I need new ones.

I am in Long Island also...
I am putting those 19 oem rims this weekend... I heard it's gonna be close to 65 degrees this weekend.

Pretty sure snow days have ended.

Those snow tires messed up my alignment, also performs not so well....

haha yeah i installed my suspension, rims, front bumper, and plenum spacer all during this winter...suspension was done in cold *** temperature and plenum spacer and front bumper were down while it was snowing out...i didnt really have much patience to wait a few more months. i just assumed it would snow only a few more times, and i would take my gf's jeep if it really got bad. it has worked out well so far

I'm thinking of putting my G back on the road in the last week of March or the beginning of April. The weather right now is definitely suitable for the G(has been this week at least, and will be next week)... but the roads are absolutel loaded with salt. That's the only reason why I'm waiting.

I'm from Mass as well.... Raynham.

I'd wait till mid April because things have been so unpredictable with the weather. I dunno usually I'd do it middle march, early april but this year I m waiting a bit longer.
