Asking because I’ve been a bit surprised the last two weeks by the number of cars I still see running their snow tires. I took mine off right after that late snow we got. ---

Took the wife’s off early April. They’re studded so they’re only legal from October 15th to April 15th. Did the same with the Jetta when I had it. Couldn’t wait to get better handling tires on it. The Xterra rolls on A/T’s year round, duh. 😛 But yeah, lots of people don’t even think of it. I’ve even heard of some numbnuts autocrossing on snows. :shrug: ---

I found a lot of people are just to poor or don’t care to take their snows off, So instead they drive with them on all summer and they wear like crazy and they figure they already have snow tires in the winter (even though they are worn like crazy) and drive through the winter and die. On my gti I had snow tires, I took them off as soon as it go nice out but to my dismay we got a late snow fall and I was screwed.lol ---

> [@MikeRi24](#): > > not sure i would technically call them “snow tires” but i switched my winter tire/rims for my summer tires/rims right after the last snow Yea its cheaper and more coveinent in the long run just to have winter/tire rims instead of paying around $60 to mount/balance tires each time I swap them. ---

Still have them on my A4. But, they are technically an all season tire, Nokian WR’s that I just run as snows. This year I decided to take the 18’s to the scrap yard and I’m deciding what to buy. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/when-do-you-take-your-snow-tires-off/48103.md?page=2)
