I don't. I keep my performance tires on there. It's more exciting that way..

Default depends on the weather, but targeting Thanksgiving weekend. However...

...if there is accumulating snow or icy conditions in the forecast before that, I will put on the snows before driving in those conditions.

Summer tires are useless in snow and on ice.

First time I hear snow mentioned on a weather forecast. This year it was last week.
