Winter tires - urge to swap

This weather in Chicago has given me the urge to swap back to my summer wheels. What are you guys doing? I usually wait til mid April.

Wow. I was literally going to post this as well. I am getting the itch but know that we are in a false winter and I will ruin everyone’s weekend if I change out.

Supposed to be 60’s in Chicago this weekend though.

Very tempting but hold strong! Just a few more weeks...Spring is almost here.

I will probably swap the first weekend in April. Better safe than spun in a ditch.

If you do it then it will snow again, if you don't do it then it wont snow again. The choice is yours choose wisely.

I'm the only one using summer tires year round? lol

I think it's to soon, I doubt we will get more snow but it is still March after all.

With all the potholes created from plowing snow this winter I might want to use my 18" winter wheel/tire setup in the summer ... 😞

LOL. I put my comp wheels on also. I need to drop my custom wheels off to get refinished. I hit a curb in the fall and keep putting off dropping them off.

Ha! I just noticed rain moving in...

I am probably waiting another week or so, just did the first wash of the season. I need to clean/seal/wax the comp wheels (and begin the battle against brake dust all over again).
