Winter set installed. Just found out I herniated my L4-L5 (and I’m in my f***ing 20's), and my ski season’s a bust, so no rack this year. Forgot how grippy Blizzaks are - makes it feel like it’s on rails.

I think I miss my summer set. Winter is a bit more incognito, but the Rotiforms really grew on me...they actually turned a decent amount of heads, too. The 12.5mm spacers on the rear had more poke than I had hoped, but seeing how narrow my OEM set looks without spacers, it really shows car needs at least 8mm spacer’s back there.

12.5mm Spacers with 235/19 tires

No spacer with 255/19 tires

Kinja'd!!!

Really not looking to spend any more money after dropping a couple month’s rent on a new clutch , but spacers aren’t too expensive...

I’m never fully ready for winter. I bundled up a bit and went out to work on the Bronco late afternoon yesterday, and was only out about an hour before I couldn’t see shit.

Got my winters on last week. Of course it was 60 something today. Probably just melting the winter compound off the tires right now.

I still have to get ready for winter. Top off my wiper fluid. That’s it.

It’s 85F here right now.

I’d better get ready as well - will dig out my boots from the back of the closet.

Winter in CT was pretty lame last year, and I’ve read this season will prob be a repeat of last. But, I still gotta take the FR500s off and put the factory uglies back on just in case.

Pulled out winters i mounted a month ago to check them, 3 are leaking air. So, that’s gonna need a fixing before mounting :P

My snow blower is acting up. Going to have to take the carb apart and figure out what is going on. Mean while there is about 7" of snow on the ground and more on the way.

It felt like -29 Celsius here this morning, so I hope I’m ready.

Blizzaks practically evaporate if they touch dry pavement so I don’t put them on unless there’s actual snow/ice on the ground.
