Those in the NE with a Z51, how long did you wait?
For those of you who live in the North East, How long did you wait until you switched to all season tires. All though the Vette is just a toy for me, I would like to drive it until the salt is on the ground.
Unfortunately it gets cool quick up here in North West NJ. I only have about 2,500 miles on the car.

When I lived in Maryland the summer tires stayed on till the first road salt hit the street.
You just got to drive with a little good sense. Now I live in Florida, it's not a problem.

I drive mine up to early December, I’m just really careful until the temps and the tires warm up, no issues to date. If we get a nice day in February/ March I’ll take it out for a cruise for fun.

I live in northern NY and do not even consider swapping tires.
Car goes away for the bad months, up here in the mountains can be 6 or 7 months Now on my 2ed Vette with "warm weather tires"
