Thread: Time to take off snow tires?

    Time to take off snow tires?

    Daughter's town got 6" of snow this week, but per AccuWeather, it looks like a snow repeat is unlikely through the end of March and that gets us into April.

    Should she wait a little longer? I know the tires are softer and will wear out quicker, but does it hurt to keep them on an extra few weeks?

    Can only tell you Montana rule of thumb. Most people do Halloween to Easter. I do Columbus day to Mayday.

    Also, softer the tire the less you want to run them in fall/spring.

    Thanks, that helps. It's not the conditions you face, but that gives me a general idea.

    Easter sounds like a good time, maybe shortly before.

    Yes, she might get away with Election day to St Paddy’s day. Part of the calculation is to avoid the tire store “everybody had the same thought” rush.

    Montana residents should probable either put their carp on jack stands for a month or two or for sure keep the snow/ice tires on.

    Forecast shows some more white fluffy stuff fall in the near term

    I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight.

    I have seen snow in Bozeman every month of the year, including the 4th of July
