Tire Switch - Summer to Winter

When is everyone switching over to winters from summers?

In the northeast we have temps getting into the 40's. What temp should you switch over?

I have always had all seasons so looking for some advice on when to switch over.

When most of your driving will end up being in sub 45F degree weather or you can expect to drive through winter road conditions.

To give you an idea, I do mine November 11th for the last decade and I live in a suburb of Montreal. I get the day off (or the Friday before/Monday after) and use it to get this done for my cars.

When my car comes with all seasons or similar I usually wait until mid November when skiing starts.

When the car comes with performance summer tires I like to switch before our around the first snowfall (late October). I've seen too many performance cars stuck in a dusting of snow to risk running slick summer rubber, especially since I live on a bench.

I'm still using my convertible on PS4s. What part of the NE do you live? I don't switch to winters until November. I did just order Scorpion Winters to put on the 22s.

I am in CT. I ordered the winter wheel package from BMW with the CCA discount.

I made an appointment for mid October to get them switched. I may move it back if weather is warm. Don't want to be caught in a surprise storm and can't drive.
