Canada Is it time Yet ??

Alright people from Ontario/Surrounding area (specifically southern Ontario) what are your predictions

with the recent warm weather coming in do you think I should throw back on the Summer Rims and Tires ..

I think there is a good chance that we might get One maybe two more snows this year but I think for the most part the bad weather is done and its a good time to put back on the summer tires ...

I am soo sick of the winters and since I am going to Australia for most of the summer I wont have all that much time with them on and I am anxious


...what do you think ?

Ya, I know I live further west, but wait until April, then you can be much more certain. It is not unusual in Canada to get a big dump at the end of March or early April.

I'm chomping at the bit to take the damn things off but I have a feeling we could possibly get one more blast before winter is gone for good. Unfortunately I have to drive on the highway this weekend with my winters on for a buddy's stag so the tires are going to be taking a bit of a beating. The weather has been so unpredictable though I'm almost afraid to take them off now since it can be 8C one minute and a complete whiteout the next.

i dont even think we will get a big blast maybe a light dusting might be all... but still even with the light dusting that we may or may not get better to wait 3-4 more weeks

If I see a streak of weather for the next week and a bit I'll consider pulling them off then and putting them in storage...my summer ones weren't great on the snow but if I take my time in town I should be alrite. I'm too used to being able to plow through it without really worrying about it which would be a bad idea with the MXV4s .

Never took off my originals. Still too early to remove the winters up here if your traveling outside of London. My predictin is 2nd week in April. One more blast left in her.


Oh ya...how do I know....cause my dogs haven't shed their winter coats yet.

Trust me, wait till april 1st at least. Last year I got eager beaver and slapped on my summer tires (Falken Azenis) and I got caught in a light snowfall and I almost bit the dust. Understeered like a **** going into a turn and plowed into sumones driveway and lawn. Luckily i didn't curb anything.

I could only hope that everone would put their summer rims & tires on early because sure as sh*t it will snow. This happends every year & we always get about 40 or so customers that get into accidents. I would say WAIT but for those of u that don't Keep Up The Good Work, I get paid commission. I hope u guys wait I don't want to anybody here have that happen to them.
