Illinois guys, time for summer tires?
Just wondering if you think now would be a good time to swap out the winters for summers. Weather seems to be consistently getting better and it doesn't seem like its gonna snow again this season. I miss the Advans, plus I don't want to shred the winters by driving aggressively in warm weather. How many of you are putting your summer tires on soon?

I've been thinking about the same thing. I was waiting until low temps were around 40 degrees. Since, I think thats about the lowest operating temps for summer tires, if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully, in the next couple weeks around here.

If you drive like a grandma and lazy, get all seasons.
If you like to move out once in awhile, get dedicated wheels/tires.
I'm waiting til the end of the month just to be sure.

IMHO, get a good set of winter tires and either all seasons or summer tires that can stilll handle rain well.

I had the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's but they wore out. I junked those and put my RE-01R's on today.. I'll be getting Blizzak's for the winter. Summer is heaa! Well not really but hopefully it doesn't snow anymore in freakin' April. Ridiculous.
