It's time to swap out those winter tires for summer ones.

Scott Mueller at High River's Fountain Tire says there's not quite the rush to get tires changed in the Spring that he see's after the first snow flies in the Fall.

"You never know what are temperatures are going to be like, and what our weather's going to be like come April and May. We even get snow into May sometimes, but the temperatures will be up there, so the snow's not going to stick."

Mueller says if you keep driving on your winter tires once the temperatures get above seven degrees Celsius you run the risk of doing some serious damage to them as the softer rubber gets chewed up quicker on pavement that summer, or all season tires which are made of much harder rubber.

He says the best way to store your winter tires is somewhere dark and dry, as too much sun can damage the softer rubber of winter tires.
