Having winter tires on your vehicle on dry pavement is a big no-no, It takes away so much life from the tire. Plus i dont see any-more snow coming around, maybe rain but no snow (I hope)

Cold weather ruins my summer tires, actually sub 10 degrees, and I spent $1200 on them, only $700 on my snows.

I'm thinking this week, usually I use Easter as my guide...

I just put mine on today... dry roads are not bad for winter tires, dry roads and 10+ degrees are bad for winter tires, in higher temperatures they tend to wear like R compounds.

Tires are mounted and balanced, but my car still needs an alignment hence they aren't on the car yet.

i put my summer tires on almost two weeks ago, and what a fun time i had.
So i get my 3rd summer wheel on and i'm tightening the lugs, by hand with my 4 way, i get to the Honda lock and bam, the lock breaks....on the car. The key was fine, so i go to take off the last winter wheel (steelie) and bam the Honda lock breaks, this time destroying the key. ****!!!
So i make a trip to my local Honda dealership to buy new locks, and i see my buddy working there. So for whatever reason, he tries to get the busted locks off with their master key, sure enough he breaks their master key. So now, i can't even get the 2 non busted locks off b/c Honda's key is broken. But my buddy took the car in back and carefully removed my locks, thankfully.
So putting my summer wheels on turned into a damn 2 hour mission and ended up costing me $60 dammit.
