Winter Wheels? -

Koselowiec · 10-26-2008, 08:35 PM

Who has their winter wheels on already?

I think I might put mine on this week, with the possibility of snow next Sunday...

Opinions?

TTaM · 10-26-2008, 08:42 PM

Mine are on, and it snowed today.

Booo

ZoHeB318 · 10-26-2008, 09:14 PM

Maybe over the weekend. I might get my snow tires mounted this week

**bosstones** · 10-26-2008, 11:37 PM

No worries...that's what the Jeep is for.

Although I have debated new shoes for it.

Going to do it soon. Summer tires are like hocked pucks when it gets to freezing temperatures plus it's not good for them in the long run, grip wise, from what I have read.

**Timmahhh** · 10-27-2008, 07:32 AM

I'm going to give it a little longer. I've made it throught the last couple winters with all seasons, so one snowfall without snows should be OK.

**+The Jesal+** · 10-27-2008, 09:02 AM

Throwing them on this week since i want to sell the stock runflats.

leftygibsonplyr · 10-27-2008, 09:16 AM

meh. after thanksgiving ill do mine...i dont think i have anything to worry about till then...

Matt · 10-27-2008, 09:40 AM

On for the past two weeks.

Vik · 10-27-2008, 11:52 AM

I am waiting till the highs get below 40. Probably 2 weeks or so. Does everyone get them mounted by Anthony?

tivs32 · 10-27-2008, 12:00 PM

Mine have been on for about 2 weeks now...

had to since the front camber I was running wore through the streched kuhmo's in 5 months

figured they'd last for one season, but I was hoping a full season

**Jay::01-S4** · 10-27-2008, 01:28 PM

meh, I'll wait for the first "real" snow.

cosM3os · 10-27-2008, 03:20 PM

Last year being the exception, I'm usually kneeling in 2 inches of fresh snow when I change mine!

boostin240 · 11-02-2008, 09:15 PM

Does anyone know the fitment of sti stock wheels? My friend was telling me they will hold up well against the salt and snow.

Koselowiec · 11-02-2008, 10:08 PM

my stock S6 wheels were stolen out of my garage (Who would want them, I don't know!!). I don't have the funds to get a winter set of wheels (being laid off and all)or even tires, how screwed am I with running summer wheels over the cold months?They have an agressive tread but get hard as rock...

Help?
