Good afternoon all

I hope I don't start an epic debate with this question, but that may be a little too much to ask. I'm not trying to troll with my first ever post

My car (a 1.6 megane) currently has 4 winter tyres, on which I've done about 2000 miles. It would seem to be getting a fair bit warmer now, and the need for them, as todays temperature climbs to 8C in newcastle, seems minimal.

When in the year should I swap them for the summer tyres in my garage? now? end of feb?

When temps are above +7/8 C I think, so I've figured on changing back at the end of March.

+1, when the frosts are gone which is around March time.

Put them on when the clocks change, take them off when the clocks change.

I changed back to my summers two weeks ago, mainly because my winters suck unless it's -15C or 2" or more of snow.

I'm keeping mine on until end of march I think. Yes day time temps are getting slightly warmer but temps around rush hours are still sub 7c so winters at optimum.
