| When's a good time to fit the Summer tires back on?
I was reading the weather office for our city and the next 7 days forecast calls for some very very warm weather for a January.
Like this Sunday it's supposed to be +4 - +9
from previous weather trends in Vancouver when do you reckon is a good time to throw the summers back on?
I'm pondering something like if the Valentine's day is over +7 it's about time?
What do you recommend? Share some farmers' calendar knowledge among fellow drivers.

When WINTER is over. Winter just started 10+ days ago. Do you really need to ask. You guys keep forgetting winter tires aren't just for snow and ice. Itks for the traction and the grip in colder temps. Good time to change back is end of march early april Posted via RS Mobile | |

You seem to be anxious -- do it now
But seriously, like others have said. It's not just snow and ice but the low temperatures that you'll be driving through. January is usually the coldest month of the year.

^ yes it's nice to have more than one car. (looks in the garage) oh wait.
It's the 4WD car that have the winter tires on, how appropriate.
I run the snowies only because it's illegal to run the summer tires when snow fell for like less than a day last month.... Now it's gradually just getting warmer and warmer I feel that the snow tires are starting to take a beating from the warmer tarmac...
