When exactly should I be changing onto my summer tires again? Today it was 85 (ish) with a low of 45. Tomorrow has a high of 60 and a low of 37. I'm sure 85 isn't going to be the norm for a little while, but is it bad for the winter tires to drive at that temp? Since it's Kansas there is the distinct possibility that we could either have a massive heat wave or blizzard by tomorrow so I'm not real sure how to play this game...

I've had them on for 2 weeks.
Coming out to autocross one of these weekends? Cars and coffee next week?
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

I changed mine last week. Could be a bit early but if I remember right winter tires aren't made for use at temps over 40-45, and I had to make a 350 mile trip last week on a 60 degree day, plus it had been over 40 for a week.

Dang, maybe I should get on that then! I need to head out there one of these times! I am going to the ST Octane Academy thing in Utah in late April so maybe I need to prepare for that..
You going to C&C? If so, what time? I'm not sure what is going on this weekend yet, but I'd like to make it there at some point. I've been working crazy hours implementing a new EMR for our doctors so I'm not sure if they're going to need anything done.

Saturday morning is when I'm making the switch. So excited.

As they say, on the nose. Always like new tires on a car - just makes the whole thing feel tighter.

Cars and Coffee is like 8am to Noon on Saturday at a place called Extremo Vino. I'll be there in the CRX. I'll make a post later this week to see if anyone wants to get together nearby and roll in together, but I'll try to be there between 8 and 9 regardless.
The next SCCA autocross is on the 29th.

After most of the potholes are filled is when I change them. Keep the extra squishy sidewalls until then.
Also, they'll be fine in the heat if you drive like a regular person and keep hooning to a minimum. I've done multiple full summers on winter tires and they don't explode or anything, just wear very very slightly more.

Fiesta ST. No hooning.
I don't understand the question!
To be safe I switched them out since Jake did.
