It's ridiculous how much winter tires make my regular lancer suck even more in terms of power and acceleration and add to that terrible gas mileage and noise; stupid Michelin man.

gonna wait until alot of the pot holes are fixed. putting my ssrs and high performance tires is a huge risk if you hit anything of decent size.

I'm not gonna put my summers on yet... but it sure feels like it's time to put them on soon. Luckily I have "Performance Winter tires"... so I've been able to enjoy the recent good weather.
that rule does not apply to Canadians :P

Same with me. Once in a while, ol' Mother Nature likes to throw a late-season snowstorm at us in early April. So I'm gonna keep my Toyo snows on for just a little while longer...

Like Jan said, unless you bought new ones you should not have required reprogramming. Resets itself after driving like 10kms?
