I've got a 2006 Tl A-spec with type-s rims....wondering if I should buy cheap rims and use my all season tires with it.....what you guys think.....

 

I have two sets of rims. And tires! I fly my F1s in the summer. 265-35-18 Then out comes the Blizacs...{hope that is spelled right} for the winter (soon) This is the best of both worlds!

 

Not sure where you are running...But here in Vermont, I did a winter with the all season rubber that came on my 6MT and realized that either the tires or the TL was no fun in the winter. Then after getting stuck in my driveway the third time the next winter I bought a set of cheap ($100ish each) rims and Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSI's. Night and day difference...Now I am limited only by common sense in my winter driving.

 

blizzaks rofl

anyway, I roll A-spec rims all year round, just buy a set of blizzaks

jsut out of curiosity how'd you end up with a full A-spec'd TL but Type S rims?

 

The guy who owned it took the A-spec rims and bought a TypeS.

 

I just bought a dodge ram with tires for the winter.

 

The Michelin X-Ice Xi2 will most likely be superior to the Blizzak WS60s. I have the WS60s, and they performed admirably.

 

I just called around its like $600 to $700 dollars to do it with the rims....too much money.

 

Winter+TL= makes you want to move to mexico

 

No it's not don't say that plz. I live in michigan, and u know how it snows like helll here. Well compared to any other fwd cars, this is bye far the best car in winter. Vcs only turned on a couple times, but thier was a shit load of ice. In snow this car works wonders.

Tell me how a well balanced great handling car like the TL. Is bad in snow? It's not the car.

It's one of two things. The diver or the rubber.
You decide!!

I LOVE the TL in snow, with the blizzaks that is.....
