Roughly Easter and Thanksgiving, but it can vary a lot if the weather is nice/bad.

Also, all the salt needs to be washed away first.

Id wait for another blast of winter, we all know MN likes to do that.

>>14596233
Same. If you don't have a second set of rims and don't do an obscene amount of driving, it's more economical to replace your winter tires more often than it is to swap tires twice a year.

My dad does this on his truck; it's "Mud and Snow" tires all year round, and when he did the math he comes out a bit ahead.

I don't see a downside to using winter tires in warm weather, other than increased wear?
