Who's still on their winter tyres?

[itz_baseline]

As per the title....every time I think about putting my summer tyres back on we seem have cold weather and rain (and lots of it).

I'm still therefore on my winters....what about everyone else?

[Zod]

Changed this week. Drove for the first time this morning and it was 6 degrees, so I took extra care (P Zero Corsa System are particularly sensitive).

[simonej]

Mine will be staying on throughout the summer. Only doing about 500 miles per month at the moment so not really an issue with increased wear.

[David87]

Swapping mine over this weekend.

[CoolHands]

I am - I'm leaving them on all year. No space for spare wheels etc. Interestingly I had an MOT yesterday, (it passed) but they pointed out it had winter tyres on it, in a kind of shocked 'this might be dangerous' type way. I just nodded as I know it's perfectly legal & IMO safe.

But it shows the bias in this country - if I'd had an MOT in winter with normal summer tyres on, nothing would be said.

[SystemParanoia]

4 season quadracs.. so staying on

[kambites]

Changed the wife's car over a while ago since the average temperature seems to be over seven degrees now.

[BadRotorFinger]

Leaving mine on, limited mileage to work, so I expect wear to be low, never really get over 50mph, not as if they turn to liquorice in the heat. We'll see.............

[Frances The Mute]

Changed mine about 8 weeks ago. Whilst they are superb in proper cold conditions, I hate the feedback (and noise) I get once it's over ~2c.

[v8will]

Yes, very useful in the heavy rain today but will be changed for my summer bridgestones tomorrow. If I can be arsed.

[TheHeretic]

In the mid twenties here, temperature wise. My winters went a few weeks ago.

[Watchman]

Yep, I leave mine on all year. Not noticed any degradation in performance because of them but I don't explore the extremes of my car's abilities anyway.

They're quieter than the "summers" it used to wear, and they last at least as long although by the time I'm ready to change them as they go under 3mm, they're not as grippy. I change mine for new ones as the winter kicks-in.

Still trying to wear mine out - 205/60s on 15" wheels - car feels quite good on them to be honest and the temp is usually below 7 deg C when I scoot off in the morning. It is about 12/13 coming home.

Never noticed if they were bad in the warm weather we had in March as I used my other car which has summer tyres on

[andy-xr]

Mine are in the shed and I've just sold the car they came off so might put them on the bay

[NHK244V]

Sort of, in as much as i'm still using the same tyres i made it through the winter on, and the summer before ect ect

[sjabrown]

Still on but live in the north of Scotland. Couple of weeks when I get time and money I'll probably switch them back.

[MondeoMan1981]

Still got mine on. Still below 7 degrees in the mornings here and late at night.

In the mini heatwave a few weeks back I found them to be very progressive and safe.

And they are excellent in the wet, as it is up here today, again.

Selling the car so will just leave them on it.

[Carrot]

Never changed them to winters in the first place.

14th winter of driving, with no problems.

Never used anythimg other than budget economies on my rubbish standard cars, never got stuck or had a problem.

Each to their own i guess.

Took mine off last Thursday. As good as the Vredesteins were in proper cold and snow, the difference my M3 behaves on PS2's is amazing, an absolute joy to drive again rather than just getting from A to B

[Chris944_S2]

Still on, I can (well could before sunset) see snow from my window.
