The sun is shining and I have a new floor jack. I usually wait until April but the extended forecast looks good. Am I jinxing myself if put on the summer rubber today? What say you?
I was forced to switch last Tuesday when I busted the Winter Pirelli and stock rim on a pothole in Northbrook on Waukegan. Put new Vossens (custom made) with Summer tires on Wednesday only to have one of them scratched badly against the curb by the valet at Colonial (even after I gave him 2 20s to keep it there he tried to park it "better") Before the scratch: Image Unavailable, Please Login
Take comfort in knowing that the curb rash ensures you'll never bend THAT wheel. Switched mine then proceeded to drive north in steady rain while watching the outside temperature decline. 3 degrees colder and I would have really regretted changing tires.
