Look at dem thicc treads. 2/4 tires arrived. Hopefully the other two get here soon so I can mount these gorgeous things and go terrorize the passes

Just saying.

Damn, you were driving around on those bald things?

I was surprised to see that these were directional tires. Makes me feel a little bit better about giving up the summer tires.... I can at least pretend I’ll still have some cornering ability!

Bad, I know. And those are the relatively decent front tires. I’ll show the backs when I swap the winter tires on. It’s absolutely mind-blowing how well these things still grip, even in the icy 27° morning conditions

We’ve actually had some wipe outs due to winters on backwards.. a driver spun off on the main highway and into the median and didn’t make it.. wasn’t wearing a seatbelt and was ejected but they figured the backwards winters in snow conditions started the whole thing..

That’s terrible. I’ll be sure to make sure my tire place mounts them correctly

That’s going to give the red beast at least a 1" lift.

Those look a little big to fit under there.

1.1 inches. Plus another .5-1 inch lift taking into account how worn the old tires are.

That, plus maxing out my ride height should hopefully make the yata not a complete snow plow!

Are they bald or just damp?

Both.

They should clear no problem when I raise the ride height a bit. Went from 205/50r15 to 195/60r15 so about an inch taller and a quarter inch narrower.

I decided at the last minute against ordering something even taller.... Thank god

Just give it a hellafail stance, so that you’ll only wear out half of each tire.

Do you mount them yourself?

I have the same tires on my VW GTI. They are so grippy! You will love them.
