I live in Canada and winter is around the corner. At what temperature do you put your winter tires on? In Canada we use Celsius but I don't mind answers in Fahrenheit. Any suggestions are welcome.

THANK YOU

i wouldnt go by temp...Dry pavement will accelerate wear on many winter tires since they are a softer compound than regular tires. as such, i wait till the first BIG snow.

7 degrees Celsius is when summer tires begin to lose their grip
