I'm anxious to put the 20's back on but i dont want to act prematurely. I would be pissed at myself if we got more snow and my wintersports were in the garage.

Your thoughts????

I usually use St. Patrick's Day as my reminder to swap back. A late March or April storm is just too rare. But I have been burned before!

Beginning of April for me. Although I'll be on a Caribbean Island for most of March and 1st part of April. When I get back I know it's time.

I'm not sure I'll give up these super comfy 16" winter non RF's.

Looks like shit, but feels good

No sooner than April 15th, on the way to the Post Office with my tax return, at least for Albany, NY.

But on a cheerier note that's also when my other BMW (two-wheeled version) rolls out.

Cheers,

Better be after mid-April, just in case.

April for me. Again I thought the tires are better for temperature in 45 and below. Also I like the non RFT feeling!
