When Should I Change My Tires?

The best practice in regards to winter tire changeover in the spring is to wait until daily temperatures reach an average of 7°C before changing your winter tires to summer tires or all-season tires. The reason for waiting until the temperature reaches that average is because summer/all-season tires get too stiff at temperatures under 7°C, while winter tires get too malleable at temperatures above 7°C. Leaving on your winter tires when temperatures are consistently above 7°C can lead to increased treadwear, and summer tires driven below 7°C reduce performance and tread life as well.
