So, to those of you who live in or around Calgary, i need some help deciding when to get summer rubber. should i get them now or wait a few months?

 

why not just get them now, and put them on whenever you want to.

 

ya if you can get a good price on some summer tires get them now but as for installing them i would way another couple of months before you install them.

 

right... my concern isn't really the price... it was when to install them. i could get them now.. just got my tax return... but i wasn't sure when to put them on

 

i'd wait atleast another month to put them on.. i live in west virginia and i just put my summer tires on and regret it.. wish i would have waited a few more weeks til all the snow is %100 gone

 

ah come on put em on now.. You'l become a better driver if it does snow cause you'll be driving hella defencive.. We do live in Alberta so you never know when winter will strike still even though the weather teases us with warm weather so I wouldn't risk it but then again Cow town is alot warmer then red hole is even though we are only an hr north.. God I hate the plains shitty weather

 

At least another month IMO.

 

^^^ x2

 

mine will be on around march 15th...

 

i respect everyones opinion and wanna thanks you guys for helping me make my decision... i've decided to wait one month before they go on. with any luck i'll have found some sweet wheels to go with them by then

 

I wait till the street sweepers come out to clean up all the gravel on the roads.

 

I Always put them on after my birthday

Which is the beginning ofApril

 

i agree with thedriver i have had my stock and summer tires on the entire winter. i don't drive everyday but close. The reason i never got winter tires and rims is could not find 16" steel rims for a decent price. Plus i'm a manitoba boy and well i've never been the one to go with winter tires. I am just very cautious and never in a rush come winter. I got around just fine this winter.

As for summer tires. I am planning to purchase new 18" Konig Unknown rims with new rubber within the next few weeks. Probably won;t get them for another month or so. which i am ok with. I got a lil more rubber left still. lol

 

i dont live in canada but i just bought new tires and i was wondering the same thing when i should put them on.. here are my tires, the tires with the gold rims http://www.falkentire.com/#/Tires/Tuner/RT-615
