[GTA] Are we there yet? (When are you switching back to regular tires?) - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I finally took my car out of the garage. It seems like they stopped salting the roads for now.

From what I've noticed the stock tires are not bad in the cold (-5C). But if the snow comes back. She'll be back in the garage

My summers are basically R-Comps. I'll be making damn sure I won't be driving them in anything below 10*C. Thankfully, I have a truck that I can use if anything goes south, well, i guess north? Like, Alert north?

End of april. That way I know for sure that winter isn't coming back.

April 1st? I don't want to look like a "fool" just in case mother nature has other plans lol

All depends on what time of day you're driving most of the time... even if the daytime high is 10*, it's probably like 2-3* by 9pm.

I still need to purchase some summers for my new wheels... I have time though, coils go on as soon as it's a consistent 10 degrees out.

Tried my 265 hankook rs3 earlier today... I suggest waiting until all of the loose sand and salt is washed away... i thought i was driving on primacies but with less wet weather grip...

I need to purchase new tires before I can even consider putting on my summer rims.....

Anyone looking to get rid of their set??? Either 235/40/17 or 245/40/17
