Post your winter set-up!

TurboSpecC · 08-01-2007, 02:36 PM

For all of you who have to deal with driving conditions that involve the white stuff; I got a cheap Tire Rack package of $100 rims and Blizzak LM-25s for my WRX STI which work wonders combined with AWD. Do you guys run cheap ASA rims on the bimmers in the winter? Post your set-up!

tagging on this one...i need winters this year

matt_435xi · 08-01-2007, 02:49 PM

i just ordered a set of 18" CSL replicas and Dunlop winter tires for this winter. if i like the CSLs that much i will swap my summer and winter rubber, and run CSLs in the summer and my stock sport wheels in the winter.

Winter, what winter???!!!

...sorry one of the perks of living down south, we only need one set of tires and an underground hurricane shelter.

chicagolab · 08-01-2007, 09:13 PM

I got an extra set of 159s but I still have to buy winter tires to wrap them in

Any recommendations for 18" winter tires that are available in 235/35?

Mr. 5 · 08-02-2007, 11:02 AM

Same as the Summer.

We get a lot of snow here in Huntington Beach.

Sorry, but I had to do it.
My relatives in Montreal hate me.

All the looking I've done has indicated that 18" winter tires are non-existant.
