Only when the temperature is over 6-Celcius,it been under that for at least 2 weeks so many people took them out for a spinn. Most of us keep them in for the winter, but there is a bunch that drives them the year around.

Hi Rob, American iron weight often keep a good grip combine with fresch new wide pattern summer tires, some also use all season tires without studs,they are legal to drive year around,summer tires are not allowed between 1/12-1/4 if the roads are in winter condition, to make the hills just floor it. We got 1 meter of snow and temperature has been cruel 20-30 minus celcius BRRRRRR. Keep well soon spring.

Wow..that is cold...we're back up to about 3 C now...We haven't had much -20 C temps (and if we did, it only lasted a few days)..I like winter though as we enjoy winter sports like hockey and sliding with the kids...Makes spring that much better!...
