When to remove winter wheel set-up?

D_SheerDrivingPleasure · 03-10-2021, 01:21 PM

With the warm weather I am itching to shed my winter set-up. For those of you located in the Northeast, or an area with similar climate, when do you typically revert to your summer set up?

I am inclined to wait a bit longer given my alternatives:

a) 20" 666M w/ MPSS - harsh ride with the lingering potholes
b) 18" APEX EC7 w/ NT01 - dicey if there is a cold snap.

Personally I wait until the temps I would be driving in are above 45 degrees. Also I live in New England so snow is not unheard of late March or even April although typically I'll wait until the end of March to swap.

Out of curiosity - what does your winter wheel set up look like? Thinking about getting wheel / tire set for next winter. Thx!

Took mine off yesterday. In Missouri, winter set up was so noisy. Super sports so quiet compared to the LM001.

Same here I'm in Chicago swamped them out on Sunday which means we will probably have one more blizzard. It'll be my fault.

I am right outside Boston and just got it done today - but I have an old 325i beater with snows if I am too early.
