^^6 months is typical for each set of tires anywhere in Canada. On my most recent DD Altima I would put the winters on around Nov 1st (Z's goes into storage then!) then switch back around May 1st also when I bring the summer cars out again, so then I know April rains have wash away all of the salt that they dumped on our roads! It's so nasty! I would never expose my Z to the salt we have around here makes cars look like SH!T!!!!!!!

I find even driving the Z's in late October it can get a little slick because it will drop below the magic 10*C when the tires start to lose grip! so on those cool nights around freezing(0*) to 3*C you can have some fun in some open parking lots!DONUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol only in my 300zx so far though.......
