Convince me not to put my summers on
I bought plain looking winter wheels so that I enjoy the summers that much more but with the weather being to nice I want to put them on. Tell me it's too soon and its bad news if it goes on too early.

Not only did I put my summers on today...I added spacers.
Did that work? Reverse psychology. Although I really did do that today.

looks like this spring weather will be warmer than average, especially in March and April.
I just put on my summer wheels this past weekend.

doesn't look great to be honest. I'm in desperate need of a drop.
I'll post a pic on Instagram or something.

On highway I couldn't agree more on how it never lost traction. I've driven my car from Shelton to New York City on the coldest day with 3F as temperature on highway and believe me I was so happy because it would never feel like something was wrong. I know pss are frowned upon for being slick in winter but luckily I had really great time. |

I had summers on the whole winter as well. When there was snow, I didn't drive, but at the cold temps you can baby the car around and have zero issues with traction.

I just installed my summers this weekend. I would do it a week/two earlier but was busy with something else.

I wouldn't put summers on until April if you drive anywhere near the Bronx to Stamford track on I95. It's carpet-bombed right now and you will torture your rides until those DOT morons sort out the sinkholes.
They shaved the entire stretch 18 months ago and never repaved it? Like it's not important to have smooth roads. Cut up 5ft patches, replaced them, and then let everything sit for another 6 mos. Literally the worst DOT job I've ever seen in the history of tarmac building for me.
