How long can I run performance winters (wintersport 3d)??
I'm planning on waiting another 40 days for Hartmann RS4 Reps to get in stock and it's starting to warm up in NE Ohio. I was wondering if I'm doing any damage to the Wintersports if I'm running them in warmer weather. Is there a rule of thumb when they need to be changed? Thanks.

I have heard of Subaru folks using 3Ds year round in a pinch
Wouldn't want to, but you will be fine for 40 days on a performance winter.
Now something like a blizzak would be a different story

Its nto so much "damage" as "accelerated wear" at hgiher temps
I dont know how non-linear it is.
My rule of thumb, here in NJ, is "thanksgiving to easter".
Presumably should be OK to mid-40s. Hey, it was 60 here this weekend.

Yes. The Hakka's never come off before Easter...
and I usually wait until my birthday (AKA Tax Day). We've have plenty of April snows here in NY-area. Sure it hurts to have 'em on during these occasional 60-70's days, but a lot less than PZ Rosso's hurt in the snow! Winters on at Thanksgiving, off on Tax Day.
