Where is the economy in wearing down a good set of winter tires by driving with them in the summer?
It is cheaper to have a separate set of summer tires. I have the winter tires on rims so I do not have to mount and balance them twice a year.
The garages are jam packed with people switching over to winter tires, I think it is a little too early, you will add unnecessary wear to the tires.
I have my car jack, jack stands and electric torque wrench, I can do a 15 minute pit stop style change just as the first flake falls.
I have Bridgestone Blizzacs, they are good. They wear fast because the compound is soft. In warm weather you have to get them off fast.
Dec 15 - March 15When is the winter tire switch over date?
