Ready for winter!

So due to the horrible winter conditions we get here in northern california (sarcasm) I decided to install my "winter rims" on the car today.

Now I have 3 sets of rims (and looking for my 4th set soon) to rotate on the car throughout the year depending on my mood

I like your "Winter Setup" rims at the top. What wheels and tires are they?

They look like V-710 wheels, but I can't see enough of the tread to know what tire that is. Seems to be some kind of all-season, though, rather than a snow tire. Possibly a Bridgestone RE960AS???

The expression is "drawn and quartered"

What would be the point of hanging someone and then pulling their body apart after they're dead?

Regardless of winters or not, I like the rims in the 1st pic. They look pretty low-pro for snows, though.
