given our messed up weather..

when do you guys think is the best time to put on wheels and summer tires? I don't want to jump the gun and then pay for it later.

Mine are already on, but my car is in the shop. I think less than a month should be okay, but that's just me.

As long as there isn't any snow, and the roads are somewhat clean, I'd do it.

Yeah, I'm worried about my rims too. And now the car I was going to buy is out of the question. So, I guess I just have to sink more money in to mine. Such is life.

Give it another month or two, all the snow will be gone then and they'll have cleaned all the gravel off the streets here. If you wait a little longer they might even fill some of the new potholes so you don't put a nice, big dent in your rims thanks to lower profile summer tires.

You could see winter coming again from a mile away, it never slowly fades away without one last gasp.

I even called around for tire quotes, just get everything ready, give it a month or so for the install.

I jumped the gun on putting my summer wheels/tires on at the beginning of the month. When it started crazy snowing I had to pull myself away from my homework and swap back to the winter tires.

In addition, I replaced my rotors and pads (w/ HPS's) and now like braking will set of the ABS in the snow

This weather is so frustrating and depressing.

buahahha.. umm sucks.. both my headlights blew.. grr and rear driver brake light blew.. grrr Hmm gonna try these GE Nighthawk... grr soo much money though.
I wonder if there is a problem with my wiring harness for the 2k1 sedans. Not sure, I think I'll leave the stock bulbs in for a little longer and see if they also blow.
