Just put on my new winter set. 19" VMR 710's with Dunlop SD Wintersport 3D tires. Post photos of your winter set up's.

I was thinking about making the swap this weekend, but the forecast has temps in the mid 60's so maybe I'll hold off a bit longer. I generally go by baseball season - the winter tire setup goes on during or just at the end of the World Series, and come off on or about opening day. These are my cheap Rial 18's with Dunlop WinterSport 3D's.

I have the same wheels on my 2013 RS5 with Blizzak LM 60 winter tires. Probably going to switch next weekend. Still in the 60's/70's here in ND.

seems a bit early for me. driving on winter tires when its still this warm will cause accelerated tire wear. I try and swap out once the temperature is consistently in 50s
