    Re: When are people swapping to summers?

    I never took mine off, Pirelli P-Zero Nero were very good to me in the winter.

        Last year I jumped on it too early, The salt punished the finish on the wheels, I'll wait till early in May

          Always May for me, too busy with work in April to really worry about it till after that and the other good thing about May is the R8 comes out too!!!!!

            I'm surprised. For the couple summers I ran my P-Zero Nero's, the switch to winters was pretty night and day in terms of snow/ice handling, IMO.

            I'm probably waiting a few more weeks as I have summers instead of all seasons now. Be nice if it was consistently a little warmer.

                  People who drive on summer on the snow should have their insurance voided.... just like it is in Germany.

                      May at least... salt and gravel will destroy nice wheels in 1-2 seasons

                          Hmm that's strange. I cut through the snow pretty good and the only time I would slide around is when I pull the E-brake :P

                          Starting to accelerate on ice from red lights may have been the only problem I had with them on.

                          So much gravel out though, and anyone notice how BAD the roads are in terms of pot holes? I have NEVER seen so many around my area that are just massive.

                                The most notorious pot hole I've seen recently was just fixed last week, again. On 1st Street SE as your going under the railroad tracks on the far west lane. There has been a pot hole there for ages, but it grew rapidly with some constant water pouring down the street. It eroded probably four separate "repair jobs" over the course of a couple months.
