The tease warm weather is giving me an itchy change the tires finger.

It's been soooo nice out this past week, in the 60's LOL, nice weather tease for sure.

Must stick to April 1st rule.....

Changed mine last week. It's like a 15 minute exercise (admittedly, I've a floor jack and an impact gun), so when it turns cold I can reverse it.

With temps in the 60s for 8 straight days, and roundabouts aplenty, I'm already glad I did it

Yup I drove on summers all winter as long as it was dry outside NYC

Really ?? Looks like we're all on the same boat.

I'm probably going to swap them this weekend if next week's forecast is still mild.

I've always lived by the April 15th rule. Until that snowstorm hit Chicago on April 17th a few years ago....

For me the magic day seems to be Easter. Always seems like we can get dumped up until that day.

In bed with either food poisoning or the stomach flu. Missed the entire weekend. Even worse, my wife drove the car all day Friday when I was out of town and left the car window down when she parked in the garage. My new car smell is gone!

And speaking of my wife, she is Greek - our Easter is all over the place!

I'm waiting another few weeks in the unpredictable frozen North. Got in my first wash of the season on this 14C day though. Gilmour foam gun + 2 bucket method. I notice the brake dust is immense after a winter of no washing but I'll fix that when I pull the winters off.

72 degrees Yesterday! Washed and Waxed. Now I can't drive it again or I'll get it dirty!
