when are you ditching your snow set ups?

I'm tired of riding around on snows, the ride quality sucks and tires make a big impact on handling, I think.

I have yet to actually drive my G with the normal summer set up because I bought the damn thing in December.

In MA.. we've had maybe 3 snow storms and the weather has been so nice lately (above 40 degrees), when are you guys planning to switch back to the summers.. I'm thinking it's safe to go in mid feburary.

i run the winter setup from early December through early March. Four months here in Maryland. It would be foolish to change them now just because there have been a couple nice days. It IS still winter after all.

havent used the tires to their full potential... or half their potential for the matter... cause it hasnt snowed since the time i put the tires on in mid dec.

in any case I will keep the snows on till end of april.

On at Thanksgiving, off at Easter. It's my only car and I can't afford to get stuck. That said, I'm running Pirelli Snowsports, which scored the best in tire rack's cornering test for snow tires a couple of years ago when I got them. No they're not like the pilots... but they're a lot better than I ever expected from a winter tire.
