There's another way to look at that...Originally Posted by M3TA5IN
Would you rather see your car on some "ugly" 17" rims snow tires, or smashed to shit in a ditch because you lost traction and crashed the car? Compared to all-seasons, winter tires are a night and day difference. Furthermore, here in BC, if you drive anywhere past the "winter tires required" street signs (these signs are on every local mountain) without winter tires and get into an accident, your insurance is VOID.

I don't care what my rims look like in the winter. The one I found this summer actually look good to me (here, post #6).
For the first time, I will be driving a dedicated snow setup this year.
I'll post after a while (and snow), but I expected big differences with last year (I got stuck at the bottom of the court and the incline is not even that big).

LOL snow. On a serious note, be safe out there.

Yup! thanks...before I left the house I could tell that conditions were going to be sloppy and unfavorable for performance winter rubber so I dropped the tire pressure below 30 and went out. Luckily I did because I had to reverse and go back up a hill since it was blocked going down. Most people had a hard time turning around on the steep grade. Every FWD vehicle was spinning and I'm thinking they weren't prepared as this was the 1st snowfall. Only 4WD's followed me up the hill!

Went up to Baker on Friday for some skiing. Had 4x4 trucks and SUVs drifting in front of me the whole way. Got it all on video, too!
I got up without any problems on performance winter rubber. Hankook IPIKE W310 - 225/40/17 up front, 235/40/17 in the rear.
