When do you take your snow tires off?

[ski diva]

Mine came off today. It's May 2, so I think the chances of they're being needed are pretty slim (watch, it'll snow tomorrow).

What about you?

Next week, as I have road trip coming up. We’ve had significant snow here in the Adirondacks in May every few years! Let’s hope it’s not this year!

We took ours off two weeks ago. We live in Arizona and like to keep them on until we know without a doubt there will be no more travel in snow until the next season.

Took them off before the last trip to Tremblant for Easter. That was earlier than usual, but I was heading to Florida the next weekend and wanted them off the car.

Usually beginning of May, but bumped it up early this year because of my travel to Banff.

Too late. That's when I take mine off. And I put them on late too. I blame forgetfulness.

Mine are off as of this morning. The earliest date we can remove snow tires in Quebec is March 15 and some people - foolishly - change their tires soon after that. In the Laurentians we were hit with at least two snowfall events in April and many people were stuck.

They come off my car as soon as they return to flat land. Luckily I have snow tires on extra rims so it’s a pretty simple process.

LOL it was snowing this morning when I drove to yoga.

I took mine off last week.

In PA it is law that snow tires need to removed by April 15th.

^^ Wow.

Penn is sure invasive with this law. It controls private decisions about what an individual does with their tires. That seems odd to me.

I wonder why they passed such a law? Does anybody here know the logic behind that law?

I used to live in PA, and the law only applies to studded snow tires because of the damage they can cause to bare roads.

Early April. DH reasined since we're both retired now and have a condo in ski country we can just work around any late season storms (which we did).

Last week. Probably could have done it a week or two sooner.

Oh, shoot, I need to do that.
I have studs and am starting to feel bad about driving any serious distance with them.
