If you have time to sit and wait at the shop when the time comes, then you can wait until everyone else gets it done when the first flurries fly.
My preference is to get them on sooner rather than later. Any time in the first two weeks of Nov is my preference.

The law is snow tires have to be on by Dec 15 witch is much too late in the season. Snow removal contracts start either Nov 1 or Nov 15. I always make sure there installed by Nov 15.

You don't need to install winter tires until the average temperature hits around +7 C, or below. Above that temperature winter tires have less grip than summer or all season tires and will also wear faster. Below that temperature your all season tire and especially summer tires' grip is seriously impaired.

I have a sports car that I do not drive in winter, it will be put away by the end of the month. My winter car has winter tires all year round but if I had to change tires I would do so no later than next weekend. Winter is just around the corner( light flurries yesterday) and you don't want to get caught without proper tires especially if you drive a lot. It's cold enough now that summer tires should be removed, they are very dangerous in cold/icy conditions. All seasons are useless for our winters.

I would say....now?

Don't be one of those irresponsible public danger. There are too many of those in Montreal, who think that winter tires are optional and 4-seasons are fine.
