When does every one change back to Summer tyres as the weather seems to have changed ?

Very shortly.  Been watching the temps and I don't think it will be much longer.  Takes 2 days to get mine back from BMW Storage to the Dealer.

I took mine off on the last week of March last year, only to have to put them back on just in time for some of the worst snow storms we have seen in years here.  That said, snow in late March is against the norm.
