When do you guys usually put on your snow tires...and when do you take them off? Im new to teh northeast and im trying to guage how long I will have them on the car and when is the best time to put them on. Thanks.

 

I plan on putting on my snow tires mid october. I definitely want them on before the first snow fall or rainy day during a cold spell.

 

Do you have them mounted on their own rims? If not rushing out to get tires swapped can be a pain. I have mine mounted and wait till it gets close to freezing in the morning. Most of the time this is late November.

 

i already have snow tires mounted......on the beater car

 

late nov - mid march is probably safe

 

thanks for the input guys...

 

I usually put 'em on just before Thanksgiving—and like to have 'em off by April 1. (But since the OEM summer tires start to lose grip below 50º, you might want to have 'em on by October.)

 

I sadly have Avon A/S tires on my 8 Thank you 16" rim base model. Though if I still dont get good traction I can just take the bus to work. The one thing that is making me rethink leaving my current job.
