Answer
Snow tires can be put on early to beat the rush. A reasonable time frame is usually 2nd to 3rd week of October. You will not wear out a winter tire by putting them on two weeks early. Save yourself an extensive wait time that occurs in November and December.
Taking off the snow tires in late March to mid April is once again going to help you avoid long line ups. 12-15 degree Celsius are the temperatures that will cause your winter tires to wear excessively if driven on for an extended period of time.
