Talking Is it time yet? !!
Hi.

The weather finally seems tobe heading towards our likings, so I thought maybe its time for summer mode! I was thinking of using this weekend to lower the car again, and maybe, put my summer rims on....

I know its a bit early, but seriously, I can't wait anymore!! I'm sick of my stock height and cheesy handeling, and I just can't stand the looks of 13" all-seasons!!!

So what do you guys think? Is it time yet.....?

We had over 29cm of snow in March last year, This time last year was warm as well and by March 3 it was -23. So I would wait a bit longer.

were just getting phyced out by the FEB thaw.. From a weather guys perspective (i.e. me) Were gonna get hammered again before its all said and done... Dont think were gonna get off this easy folks.

As soon as the high pressure system moves on well get dumped on again. Its still FEB for god sakes lol

Go ahead lower your car..., I've been driving my car lowered through winter ever since with no problems. Just wait a bit longer before installing back your summer tires.

March 2004
1st-3rd. Sun, then clouds. Balmy breezes. 4th-7th. Turning noticeably colder, with rain/snow. 8th-11th. Heavy rains, snows Ohio River Valley; lesser amounts to south. 12th-15th. Frigidly cold, but dry. 16th-19th. Heavy rain/snow from Central Plains to Great Lakes. 20th-23rd. Clouds, sun; rain/wet snow easternmost Kentucky, Ohio. 24th-27th. Milder. Rain/snow into Wisconsin, Illinois, parts of Michigan, Indiana. 28th-31st. Heavy Midwest storm produces snow north, heavy showers/ thunderstorms to south.
April 2004
1st-3rd. Slow clearing Great Lakes. 4th- 7th. Cold air moves east. 8th-11th. Showers, thunderstorms increase Ohio River Valley, points east. 12th-15th. Unseasonably warm; increasing rain, thunderstorm threat. 16th-19th. Big storm to east could mean a possible late-season heavy, wet snow eastern Michigan, northeast Ohio. Turning cold. 20th-23rd. Mixed clouds, sun. Slowly turning milder. 24th-27th. Cold shocker! A brief shower, then unseasonably cold, but dry. 28th-30th. Rain, wet snow possible over Great Lakes.

I'm almost ready to put my rims back on, I hate driving on winter tires bloody noise and they ruin the handling. I'm cleaning my rims up now and If i can hold off long enough I might put them on in a week or two. I don't know if i can wait that long. Does anyone else find it ridiculously easy to break your winter tires free? I screach all the time and I'm not even trying.
