When do you guys think it's a good idea to take off the winter tires
 
We've been averaging 60' during the day now, is it too soon? and am I going to ruin the winter tires. I may not be able to get them changed until next week, but have to drive about 500 miles before then.

I took mine off last weekend. I don't think you're adding a lot more miles to your snow tires, but why wait? It is really easy to do the swap yourself--all you need is a good jack and a torque wrench.

take em off

Actually I don't have a spare set of rims so I need to have the tire place do it.

Corey,

Take them off....

My 996 just came out of hibernation this week, I am still cautious driving around because all the potholes haven't been addressed.

I have summer since last month. It was not a very bright idea but I survived.

Just did it today. And took out the nice car out of hibernation too.
Glad to see some NE guys having the same issues (damn potholes ...). :D
