I think we're done with snow down here, but I'm waiting another week or two and hopefully for some rain in there to rinse the roads. Basically once the pavement looks black again, the Volks go on.

It was tough for me to resist putting my new wheels on last weekend....mid 60's both days. It's also tough driving around on my winter tires when it's that warm out because I feel like the tread is basically melting off. But the roads still have piles of salt and cinders on them and I saw a bit of snow in the extended forecast so I'm not going to jump the gun. I may put my stock 18" with RE040's on in the meantime, just to avoid shredding my winter tires in warm temperatures, but I dunno if I feel like going through all that effort just to swap in my summer wheels in another 2 weeks.

Mine come off for the winter. I usually thow mine back on when the over night low temp is above freezing. That way there isn't a chance for snow over night, which means salt trucks, and so on. Prob throw them back on in a couple weeks.
