Summer Wheels To Winter Wheels - When?

[JimVee]

Just the one set for me, so they are on all year round

god forgive me.....I never took mine off! I have 4 mint 16" claytons under a blanket in my garage......they were meant to go on in October/November! Oh well!!

I’m sure I’m being very naive, and missing the point, but I think the best time to put summer wheels on is when winter finishes (whenever that is).

This is my plan too. It's difficult for me as I love skiing but also love my summer wheels

There we go.... summer isn't obvious, hence the thread.

Summer begins when there’s no need to grit the roads

That's all year then with most councils !!

Never took mine off, don't see the point I don't take it out in the bad weather if I can help it

Usually swap mid/end of April as that is when the winter tyres are getting towards the top of their optimum temperature range. If you're in the tropical South, maybe change two or three weeks earlier.

Good enough to protect military aircraft and well used by all year motorcyclists to protect their pride n joy.

It’s a heavy duty protective coat which you leave on during winter then clean off for spring leaving the vehicle looking like new.

Expensive stuff but spray it into the lid, and paint on with a brush and it goes much further.

Great stuff,I and all my kayakfishing mates have used it in a marine environment for years

Downside is that your shiny wheels will look pretty grubby whilst being protected.

Still, better than corrosion

Don't think I will be putting summer tyres on 1st March

So if my theory about the Peak District is right, that means the rest of us will have full sun and tropical heat...

I did not remember anymore 'how to drive with the summer tires .. much more' "precise" and ready in the insertions in the curve, as well as more 'silent ..
