I wish I had money for some winter tires... I'm curious how winter will be with the OEM tires... consider I did like 4 auto-x events on them... the fronts had quite a bit of roll onto the side and wore pretty good (didnt have enough psi...)
Oh well getting them rotated for my 5k service today. and the rears are in better shape. Thinking about grabbing some steelies and winter tires to throw on December-March in future years tho, everyone says their awesome.. and some say its not really worth it for the few heavy snow storms we get a year here. |

winter tires are worth it. They are great for those occasional nasty storms, but also good when we get ice and freezing rain (which seems to be more often). The stock tires were so-so when new, but when worn to 5/32" tread depth they were nearly useless in the snow. We run ContiExtremeWinterContact on the stock steelies (185/60r15) |
