With winter around the corner
With winter around the corner i was just wondering what kind of setups everyone is running for winter? I plan on getting some new rims and tires soon. But i want to know if i can just run winter on them or should i set up the stocks for winter. But before everyone says just use the stockers, i want to know what people are running in the winter on NON stock tires too. Thanks alot

You definitely don't want to run the stock Advan tires in the winter. They'll freeze and feel like you're driving on plastic tires. I am looking at getting some Goodyear all-seasons to put on my stock GSR rims, and at the beginning of next season I'm hoping to have a couple grand saved for some nicer rims - which I'll put some good grippy tires on.

I run dunlop winter sport 3D's. If you get a lot of snow they are great choice. Seems your getting another set of rims, it would be pointless to run all season tires on one set, and summer tires on another. Go with just a dedicated winter tire for your set of rims.

I went with some 235/40/18 Dunlop WinterSport 3D's on stock wheels this past winter, and they were incredible. They aren't cheap, but I think they are rated the best winter performance tires on tirerack.
