So with this warm up coming this weekend and into next week, who is going to put their rims back on. It looks like to be the end of winter according to the "experts". If not, when does everybody put them back on?

With My luck.
If I were to put them on this weekend...[very tempted]...Watch us get a Blizzard or something...

My Plans to put them on is End of March.

You mean you actually took them off? When I saw you on the 401 earlier this winter you still had them on.

First day the rims go on will be during the first week of April - just in time for the MOM meet (Meeting of Mazdas) on April the 5th. Look out for an announcement for this event soon.

If I had mine, I'd be tempted to put 'em on this weekend.

Realistically though, I tend to err on the side of caution - I'd wait 'till the middle of April.

I have no summer rims this year, but in the past, I've always waited until the first week-end of April to be safe. I'd hate to get caught in a storm with nice rims http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Bingo Chop! Give the roads at least a week to wash all the crappy salt down the sewers then put your bad boys on!...I'll put mine on for MOM too!

Since I run Y rated SO-3's I think I'll wait til the temp gets above 10 and stays there. They don't have great traction under 10. But I am getting tired of taking on/off ramps so slow. Green lane on ramp (404) just isn't the same at only 120kmh

Green Lane ON-ramp? Sentra have you looked on the other side of that barrier? That's not something you want to slide through!
