Cmon guys, lets see how everyone is looking for the winter. Please no funny guys from the southern states!

I'll post mine once we get some dam snow!

 

I'll post once I get it up to Utah in late December or January, but really don't think there'll be much that's all that noticable.

Will probably buy a set of 16" Accord rims (plenty of them available at decent prices) with moderate snow tires, probably Dunlop M3s. Not much more needed there.

 

sweet.. just want to see how people are winterizing.... i hope it snows next week!!! dying to get my winter setup on.

 

Jeep Grand Cherokee w/ 4 wheel drive and 2 pairs of tire chains.

 

wtf is snow?

 

 

My winter setup.

 

 

It doesn't look good on me when I suddenly break out into laughter at work for no apparent reason. Damn you major

 

I just got my snows mounted today. I went with Kumho KW17's in 205/50/17 on my spare set of OEM wheels. I'll post a review once we have some snow on the ground.

 

Isn't it kind of early? I was hoping to wait until the end of November before throwing mine on.

 

Hey Dan, is there any thing you notice (good or bad) running on 205/50/17? i am planning to go with that on my OEM rims too. That tires are not too narrow for the rims, rite??

 

Ya it's a little early. So long as the temps don't go above 10c then they should be OK. I've had the wheels in storage at my parents place and they didn't want them hanging around so that accelerated my schedule this year.

 

Shouldn't be a problem. I'm picking up my car in a couple hours so I'll let you know what it's like.

 

I cant afford different pairs of tires... , if i need to, ill drive around the family car (96 maxima gle)

 

.....yeah, the sunny 70 degree summers in SO CAL are pretty tough on my car.

 

The cost per mile is the same over the lifetime of your car, you just need to make the initial investment.

 

Domn, looks like snow is coming for Thursday:

snow... wow, I haven't seen snow here since I was 5 years old! I'm glad I don't have to worry about winter tires or anything like that!

Have you ever done this for real? There's a place near Ottawa where you can take a trip on a dog sled, I highly recommend it. Especially if you like dogs. It's hilarious, they just go, you have little or no control over them.

 

Well, sort of. I have a sled dog that I got from a racer up north (Whitehorse, YT). I've been training her for skijoring and for pulling my kids in a small sled. I've never driven a full team before, but I'd like to. I've been thinking about this trip, it's run by the fellow I got my dog from.

 

I just picked up my car and everything looks good. The 205/50/17 fit the wheels nicely and because they have a slightly smaller sidewall they actually look a little more sporty than stock IMO. They set the pressure at 38lbs wich is a little more firm than I like but it should be good when it gets colder. I'll probably drop it down to 36lbs for now.

 

Sounds good

i'm probably gonna shop around this week and see which winter i should get... i liked the Nokian, but they are just too expensive

 

I just tested the speedometer accuracy with the new tires and it's pretty good. When the needle is at 120kmh my GPS reads 117kmh. The tires are also noticeably quieter than the OEM Michelins too.

 

....yeah...what is snow?!

 

Friday morning for us.

 

I love the cold, but i dont want it to snow for the sake of my baby!

 

I love the snow. The more the better. So much snow that it paralyzes the entire city and returns things back to how it used to be. Nice and slow...

 

And then get to stay home!

I'll get my setup done early to mid-December for the sake of them lasting until mid-March.

sauceman, who met up with ice on I-91 in Vt. yesterday.

 

When the weather gets real bad, or if I'll be around alot of gravel roads. I bring this with me.

LOL...I like how the tire tracks are a bit "sideways". Looks like fun.

 

I just alternate between the Prelude (background) and the TSX when it snows. The Jetta is unfortunately on its way out, otherwise it was the perfect beater.
