Why am I itching to put my summer wheels & tires on today?

Maybe because it's 56 degrees in Pittsburgh today? Maybe because it's because I haven't driven my new car yet with the PS4's?

How long are my north east friends waiting? I'm thinking maybe 2-3 more weeks?

It hit 40+ in Chicago yesterday and I had the same thought.

Forecast is showing 60 here Tuesday. I'm going to get my last day of skiing in Monday, and then check the long term. I could be slapping them on in less than two weeks!

Great day for slightly irresponsible driving.

But seriously, after the hellhole of a winter we just had, this current stretch of weather in Chicago has been incredible.

I used to wait until March 15 in Maryland until one year when I was at Summit Point for a track day on April 15 and we got 10 inches of snow overnight....

I used to live in MD.. I just ran all seasons. Moving to Pittsburgh wised me up to the summer/winter tire routine.

It was 15 today with the windchill at 4pm, and I had to go out in it for work. Then there was a snow squall on the way home. Thank you winter tires.

Made an appointment to switch back to my summers next week. Seattle probably would be fine with good A/S, but my car came with summer staggered which were trash in winter so decided to buy dedicated winters.

It's too early yet I think and I'm going to wait a few more weeks. I'm tempted to take the Z4 out too, but it's not dry enough yet. I'm going to drive the Z4 a bit and then probably sell it this spring.
