Too early for winter wheels?

SoFlo_BD · 10-30-2013, 12:31 PM

Live in nyc and am just curious if its too early to put my winter wheels on or should i wait for the first forecast of snow?

I would wait. Warmer weather kills snow tires and really eats up the tread.

Thanks im just anxious to put them on because my stock wheels are beaten up by the previous owner and my winter wheels are nicer and will give the car a little different look

too early....I will wait until the temperature constantly drops below 45

Check forecast every week, first sign of snow is when I swap, regardless of it coming or not.

this is the worst time of the year

summer wheels off, stock with winter tires on.

I usually do it over the long thanksgiving weekend... while everyone else is shopping, i swap the wheels. can depends on weather too though, something like consistanly below 40 or 50 and you should remove the summer tires
