Question for you guys generally when do you throw on the winter tires. I just purchased new winter tires for the first time and now I do not know when would be the best time for the install should i wait as long as possible b4 installation. I do live in Canada, or should I install sooner then later?

What do you guys do?

winter tires are generally softer than summer tires and therefore offer better cold weather traction as stated, but also wear faster, studded tires wear alot quicker yet, "all season" tires are ok in snow and wintery conditions, but specific winter tires are alot better. i threw on the steelies and hubcaps this past weekend and think my car looks sooooooo stupid, winter tires are gonan get mounted over this weekend. i just drive alot slower and less like an idiot kid when i have them on.

also, wide tires suck in the snow, so if you have the whole 7.5 or 8inch wide wheels that have "all season" or summer wet/dry tires on you will have horrible performace in the snow and the tread design lacks a bit on icy areas. i believe i have 190 tires on now which suck on dry roads compared to my summer set, but in the snow they perform a hundred times better =)

thats my input, but like said previously id put them on while its warm out yet, then re-tourqe the lugs after a week or so once they settle in, especially if you are changing wheels and not just mounting new tires
