i was thinking about doing the summer tire and then having a winter tire set up but it doesnt snow so much here in NM. i have some good all season tires on now and if they do get messed up after the winter thats just more reason to buy some newer sticky ones, and all year around to save for them too

so i've been pricing tires and canadian says they on anything except 205/50/16's on my car. This is just policy right....there's no issue with putting other sized tires on if they end up matching close like the 105/60/15? I just wanted to confirm since i don't know much about stuff lol

The shop had the wrong bolt pattern for the steelies so i just ended up getting stock size winters on my stock rims to avoid the hassle of waiting on new steelies. the car doesn't handle as nicely anymore
I think i'm just gonna go with some new rims and tires in the spring and keep these rim/tire set for the winters. I was thinking of RRM's 17" silver rims and they're pretty cheap too. I'm just not sure how 17's would look on the car.

just ask 3 out of 5 people in this forum..most people run 17's on when they get wheels on here..some even get 18's..
i personally am still on stockers tho..
(just waiting to be able to spend some $ on wheels and tires to get the wheels i want...and a new set of tires..)
last winter was the 1st time winter i had the car and i didnt run snow tires at all...i had the worn out(3-4/32 left) set of kuhmo ectsa asx the car came w/ when i bought it...this time around im on 4 month old firestone firehawks..so hopefully ill have better traction...

I am doing this at the moment, as I was too lazy and cold to put the rear ones on at the same time. But after "drifting" through a snow filled corner this weekend, I will be putting them on as soon as I can.
