Definitely too premature over here in Me-Scratch-One. There is still snow everywhere, and the streets are still icy as anything.
Oh, I forgot one small thing. I don't have an M3 yet - due at the dealer in exactly two weeks..... tick, tick, tick........ Still have the winter set up on the X5, though, and the M Roadster is still snoozing up on the lift..... |

i say wait till mid april to do it... also there's usually a lot of road works going on at this time of the year. so no point risking your nice summer wheels.

You never know but if we do have a snowstorm it'll melt pretty quickly. We're not getting any -30's anymore that's for sure. And i don't mind if i crack my 19's or blow my summer tires. That's why i paid 1000$ for Road Hazard. |

not till mid april for me...
I once went out in my audi in late march, we had a light dusting of snow and I had on summer wheels with Toyo T1-S rubber, I couldnt stop! It took 100feet to stop from 40kmph, very dangerous |

Thinking end of March, I normally wait until mid-April as well but it seems warmer than normal this year so if the long term forecast holds up I'll get it down a couple weeks early.

Yeah, my backup will be calling in sick and/or working from home if it snows again.
