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.

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.

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,
