You should swap the tires before you regret it
Of course if you are careful you can drive the whole year with that summer set
I will do it soon - at least before my inspection time next month.

I haven't seen any black ice anywhere here. It hasn't even been slippery.

I even mowed my lawn three days ago...

The main aim was to chew up all the damn leaves - I hate having those around in the spring when the snow melts!

Tomorrow, I will do one last K?rcher power wash and foaming (Anzafin style) of the E61. Then the pressure washer and lawn mower will go into winter storage in the garage.

Luckily I did it "force majeure" already one month ago. Than two weeks ago I took a business trip across Central Europe; Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, Slovakia and Czech and most of the trip was under snowfalls.
Nice road trip!!

For the heck of it, I just checked the Stelvio Pass web cams... Completely snowed in up there.

I would like to drive to Livigno or Bormio now for some downhill skiing action!

All in a sudden looks like being on a "House and Garden" forum.
Any other suggestion on how to prepare the earth for the spring?

Well, if someone here starts to recommend books about poetry or mushroom collecting, then I think that we have a problem!
