Hands up who've removed their winter tyres and wished they hadn't!

I did. And boy did I need them this morning

Only took them off two weeks ago and today has the worst conditions for months!

Sod's law rules - OK?

Not running winter tyres, but i'm running my fronts down to as low as possible before getting new ones. They're still not bad in the dry, but after the stupidly heavy downpours driving home last night which came from nowhere, all i can say is holy cow!

I guess our 'summer' is already over again

+1 here. Took a set off the Bravo at the end of February. Roads here were fine this morning though so no harm done....

Got sunburn on my neck at the weekend while working on my car. Three days later I'm stuck in a snowdrift . . .

Crazy weather.
