Don't forget you don't need snow on the ground to benefit from the snow tires. I run 19" michelin PS2s on my car in the summer, and below 40 degrees, they are simply a traction control light waiting to flash. The Summer tires loose grip below 40 whereas the snows are in thier element and provide excellent grip in these conditions. I am not putting my Michelins back on until I'm convinced the temps are going to remain over 40 every day. Besides, I have Dunlops (M3 wintersports) as well and they are very smooth and quiet. IMHO, other than the look of the wheels, there is not much of a drawback keeping the winter tires on for a few more weeks.

Hey poleposition - Pretty sure I saw you the other day, driving in the oppisite direction as me, just off Jericho Turnpike and South Oyster Bay road. You still have your winter wheels on the car?
Yep. That was me. I took everyones advice and waited and i'm glad I did. April will be here soon enough.
All the best

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????
Hope you didn't jump. (But I did get out on my new bike after work this week!)Ray
