Winter tires off...was a waste this winter

wooderson · 03-23-2012, 04:20 PM

Summer rubber and new wheels...

nusevad · 03-23-2012, 04:35 PM

Nice black ZCPs there

Yeah this winter is pretty weird all over the world.

audioMeth · 03-23-2012, 05:22 PM

was not a waste, i'm all set with ps2's and freezing temps.

I will sell my winter wheel set up this year ... yes a wast of time and good energy

Someone further north might make use of my winter wheels next winter. We just don't have that much snow in my neck of the woods.

Meanwhile they will spend a few months hanging there in my garage

Here is a close up ... too bad I paid close to $2,500- for this set with Michelin X ICE tires. Used them less then 500 miles ... yes it was a waste of time.

Same thing here. Really wore out my snows this year, only drove in the snow once.

Post pics ASAP! I was thinking about black wheels on my LMB but I scored a sweet set of silver RACs and I am not looking back

Was considering buying winter tires/wheels, but rolled the dice and just left the "summer" setup on. Got lucky

GTS wheels look great. Consider changing out your front grilles and side gills to the black chrome Edition pieces--it completes the look and is super easy to do.

Was just thinking that this afternoon when I put the black wheels on...seems like a quick easy mod.

Think I need to invest those tire storage bags...the 220's with winter tires don't stack very well....too much metal on metal.
