Have any of you changed from winter to summer tyres yet?

Our MINI was switched a couple of weeks ago now. Perfect timing. Temps were barely above 7 degs up to that point, and have been in the teens since 
On the odd days it was in double figs while the winters were on, they were decidedly squidgey
Only downside is the ride - the summers are runflats. Boooo.
PS . treads remained at 8mm...

It took me most of the winter to get a set of 17" wheels for the Mini, after I bought tyres in Nov. I never fitted them to the car. Still, they're ready for October

I swapped over our subaru winters to summers 4 weeks ago... As soon as temps are regularly above 7degrees that's the time to do it.

Swapped back 3rd week of March, extra grip was immediately obvious.

I went from FWD with winters to RWD with summers at the end of Feb. Was expecting lots of snow after that
