    If it's not summer, it's WINTER...so post up your winter setups!

    Hey guys,

    Thought I'd start a winter setup thread if there isn't one already. I just got a new camera so I wanted to just test it and the lens to see how it reacts to 100% ambient lighting. It's hard to learn how to work a new camera brand after being used to another as well as every brand has it's own white balance and colour settings.

    Here's my winter setup...I traded my 17" M5 reps with M68s as I prefer the look of them much better although these M68's I got are rashed up pretty bad. Tires are Dunlop 3D's but I'd rather have Blizzak LM's after owning those previous if I were to go back to winter performance. I usually run 20mm spacers in the rear but I dislike hammering them off for my summer setup so they're sitting in the garage. Anyone have home remedies to installing spacers with ease of removal? Here are some of the pictures that came out. :headband

    Those Hankook's look meaty!! Easy on the concrete when you corner eh? You might have enough grip to pull the ground right out from under!

    Yep, they are indeed meaty and well... I'll wait for the snow before I judge, ... but not the greatest in the rain (and in the front).
    I am careful with them when its dry otherwise they'll be gone in one season.

    That's my issue...I like to hammer it on the on ramps and whip the rear end a bit on certain hairpins that I know. lol WINTER TIRE H00N!!! :D I was driving my dad's 540i and luckily it's got lower grip Conti All Seasons on it. With tons of torque on an open left hand turn with 4 lanes wide open, I blipped the throttle just before apex and owned the turn with only front tire grip!
