| Time to change back to summer tires?
This winter has been a bust as we only have snow for just several times, not like ones experienced in Toronto.
Best times to change back to summers right now as the weather report is just saying it will be raining a lot and no snow forecasted for the long-term.

It's going to be -2 on Wednesday. Good luck driving with your summer tires on frost and black ice.

Winter tires aren't exclusively beneficial when driving in snow, they're designed to maintain grip on the road in low temperatures.
Once the forecast changes to be consistently +7 then its time to switch back to summer tires.

Better check with ICBC, if anything happens if you have summer tires on at this time of year, will they try and get you for improper equipment.
I usually wait until March.

if you have ultra high performance summer tires, those are usually decent in the rain also... but not on ice obviously... just wait 4 more weeks till march and slap dem on cuz.

How about regular all season tires? I'm thinking about putting them back on since I drive mostly in the afternoon.

Just be careful when it's freezing out there.
