I'm hoping start of April if mid-March starts to warm up greatly but weather is too spontaneous right now. Otherwise good ol'May is a good benchmark date.

if the forecast didn't call for rain on friday, i'd consider breaking out the z. 10 degrees FTW.

Normally when there's no snow in forecast and temp's above 10* is when you know it's good for summer tires. Otherwise, summer tires NO GRIP in <10* weather!

I was going to drive my car to work today but let it go... I store my car with my winter tires (just in case my other car has problems).

I plan to put my summer tires on last week of March/first week of April.

Thumbs up I...

usually get excited the second weekend in April...but am leaning to a later start this year. I am going to try to enjoy it more this year, soak it up and such. Who knows what he future holds...either way, it was one of the greatest decisions of my life and I am looking forward to experiencing it again...

Why don't you post up where you purchased your tires from?
We have a few members that were looking for a deal on 285's... I am sure they would be grateful to purchase the New KDw2's for $365 each.

Thanks,
