well, its been nice lately, and i just dropped my sunfire on koni's and sportlines..... tempted to put the summer rims and tires back on..... when does everyone else usually do it?
after the salt washes away
And after you know it won't drop to freezing temperatures. Summer tires are dangerous when it gets that cold, regardless of whether there's snow or ice on the roads. Even on a dry road, they can be unpredictable and dangerous because the compound freezes hard like a hockey puck.
end of april? really.... well down here in windsor its been nice for a week..... i was thinking more like end of march... guess we'll see how the next week plays out
i wish, but after its cold my tires (hankook ventus) have no grip at all due to the softer summer compound they use i believe.... im thinkin by the end of the month i'll put em back on
I'm putting mine on for Easter weekend. I put my new bumpers on today. I have to get new lugnuts this week and I should have the rims on on Friday.
mine will be out mid to late april...

mine will be early may when i put the car back on the road lol
snowed here last night... dammit.... all melted before morning though... maybe in a week or so
Unless your rockin' chrome or polished/machined lips, you can put them on now. Painted finish wheels aren't a problem.. Just keep them clean.
As far as chrome or polished lips or wheels, wait for another month or so. Otherwise the left over salt will eat away at the wheels... especially when it rains or when they get wet... Just wait untill the sweepers come around .... summer will get here eventually... Be paintient.. @!#$ winter might still come back.. the weather is weird this year...
Draggin' That A**
im more concerned with the traction on the tires......
im feeling the same way, i have been waiting sooo long for this...
im thinking end of this month too... depending on the weather of course.. if it continues to have these freak snow falls, i dono....
***Thanks again to stargrrrl***
Mine are on all year round but car is stored, and once it becomes warm i can start on the car. Its a mess... So much to do
Mine go on in may ... not willing to chance it with the new tires on these crappy canadian roads covered in potholes and salt
so i put them on tuesday, and today (wednesday) it starts snowing like a mofo...... figures
Today's the day.

Yep. I put my front valence back on this past weekend.
It could easily still snow... but I can just not drive in it if it does.
Speaking of crappy roads.. what da **** happened around Scarborough man!
It's worse then driving through a forest on blown shocks. Brand new road which
were just resurfaced last summer are pure crap now.
Each time I see those craters I realize that it was a good choice to stay with 17's.
