Don't bother trying to "time" the exact optimum date to put on tires. It's not worth the risk. A few years back I used to do this and got caught driving back in sheer ice. Long story short, got in an accident that probably doesn't happen if I had my winter tires on. The pennies you save in tire wear is a lot less than the cost of body work....
I change my own tires now and it's a rule for me - change em on Thanksgiving weekend for two reasons: 1) I'll actually have time and 2) It usually snows before Halloween.
