So who's still swapping onto winters or are you onto the all weather religion now? I've yet to get my winters on - hoping to do it in the next 10 days or so.

Both. Old tires = still swapping. New tires = all weather

The M3 runs 200TW during summer, those have to be swapped plus I have winters already. For the next set though I might go with just an all season  When I lived on a flat street it was fine, but the M3 has a hard time now that I live on a hill.
The X5 has 315 rears for regular tires so it kind of need winters. Plus I need it to be functional regardless of weather.

I still swap. Haven't jumped on the all weather side of things especially because the weather in the GTA is very black and white. It's either summer (hot and humid AF) or winter (cold and snowy AF.) We get like two weeks of mild Vancouver weather a year, four weeks if we're lucky.

Still swap. Thought next set I may go all season/less sporty for summer as I have the S2000 to scratch that itch now. Quote:

I swapped in October. With my luck, it would be hectic not to swap. I don't trust all weather's on things like hills yet. It makes sense when you don't already have 2 sets..
Tho that said I just bought steelies for my brother's car - $50 for 15s and ordered him 195/65/15 Kumho Wintercrafts for $400 (inclusive of rebate). He's getting an old set of ECS in 17s that I have lying around for $200. After install, that's $800 for two sets which is still cheaper than CC2s and probably more mileage too.

I went into the CC2s knowing they're not meant for handling performance and thought the convenience of no tire swaps was worth it, but the new setup negated the marginal performance edge my Volvo had over the T6 (there wasn't much to start with).
For context, I was coming from performance winters/summers so I'm evaluating from skewed expectations. My cheap ass from wanting to save on tire swaps ultimately costed me more in the end  | |
