When they go flat.

When they wear out.

When the snow is gone for good.

When you install new rims.

When they fix potholes and clean the sand/pebbles/crap off the roads from winter. End of April/early May.

For those of you who have winter / snow tires installed, when do you plan to swap them? I can't wait to put on my summer shoes and store my practical, safe, but not so enjoyable winter setup.

My dealership said they had their 1st customer yesterday who swapped their winter tires. It's been much warmer weather these days, but I heard that summer tires should not be exposed to temperatures under 5C (41F). When are you planning on swapping your rims / tires?
Begining of April

Tax day for me
Exactly....
We often get a random snowfall in early April - you DON'T want to have your summers on when that happens.

I almost did it last weekend and am really anxious to do it soon.

Usually, I'm a bit more patient but for some reason, this year, not so much... I may be doing it in the next few days if I have time.

silver_545 im in the GTA too and I switched mine on a different car last year at the end of march. This year just like Rudy said, I was itching last week but I think will try to hold myself until the last week of march. Weather man said snow today should've been the last. Dont know if thats true but hoping but if it does should be manageable. Well thats my two centsm ha ha..........
