Do you even fall?

Just got the winters on last night. So far so good, cornering seems to be good. They give a different noise on the highway and definitely accept potholes better. Firestones on Steels.

My set of winter tires just shipped out yesterday. Should be here next week.

This is my first year with them, so I hope the investment is worth it, because it wasn't fucking cheap.

i'm with you. What are they going on? Watd u have on there? The stock tires were like snowboards for me so I'm pretty sure i'm better off like this. Also consider your saving tread life on your other tires so it will be longer before you have to buy another set.

Just some stock Turanzas on a Mazda 3 hatchback. They weren't as good in the snow as the OEM tires I had on my old Toyota Matrix (whatever they were, I honestly don't know) but as long as you provide enough time and distance for everything when the snow and slush got heavy, they were adequate. But not good.

I ordered some of those new Yokohama iceGUARD iG52c tires. Saw some good online reviews for them - one person even compared them to Nokians, so I was pretty sold after that.

We'll see how good they are after they're installed. Hopefully next week.

I'm really digging the black on black. Loving the black on red for me, too.

Black wheels, man. Black wheels.

There really hasn't been much of a reason to get them before now. All the major snow that the Buffalo region was hit with, was all south of me. The whole time the south towns got pounded by 7 feet of snow, we got about 1.5 inches.

we've only had 1 snow storm so far but it was only an inch or 2 and it didnt even stick to the streets.

I could make snowflakes...i mean, the steel wheels have enough surface area to be a canvas of sorts

i bet this wouldn;t be too hard to translate onto a steel wheel. outline the holes in bright colors draw a snowflake in the center.
