Illinois guys, time for summer tires?
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.
i'm expecting my perrin cat back wednesday. i hope to install that along with my summer set friday. today was step 1, clean the stockers. i also washed my car real quick, omg was it dirty.
i'm looking to get an evo ix or x to drive all year round (daily driver, track car, all rolled into 1). do folks tend to get all seasons or swap between winter/summer tires? what tires are you running now?

I'd give it a few weeks guys! Illinois is crazy when it comes to consistent weather. That's why I haven't put on my summer tires. And the fact that well... I'm broke right now and don't have any summer tires to put on 

All seasons for me!

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.
