I'm from the Schaumburg area, Roselle if anyone knows where that is. I just got my TSX not long ago so its bone stock....for now. I'm in the process of punching numbers to figure out exactly what I want and how much it will be.

14 isn't bad but lets see if we can advertise a bit more.
TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS... lets try to hit 20!
I don't care how cold it is... we're reppin the Midwest here, we're used to braving the cold weather. Lets show all those SoCal and FLA guys how we do it up here without the 65 degree weather in November.

That is how I drive all winter with the summer shoes on. Stupid me, I sold the original 17" way back in Sept of '06.

i upgraded to some toyo proxes 4's... dry and wet they are so much grippier than the OEM's. We'll see how well they do in the snow but i'm expecting good things.

For me the Toyo's handle better when it is wet than dry, but on snow you fell like you are skiing rather than staying stable.

i'm usually set at 38front and 35rear for psi. i called up toyo and found out what they recommend for my set-up. i am running them on 19's so low-prof anything doesn't really help much for snow and deeper water. i LOVE the grip on the dry pavement. its not bad in the rain but braking can cause some abs-usage with the toyos that i didn't experience much with my factory tires.

I keep my Toyo's at 40psi front and 38psi back and mine are 245/35/19.
If yours are 235/35/19 I think it is OK to keep then the way you do.

well I love Portillos personally, plus they are all over the place but if i'm holding out for anything it'd be a bacon cheeseburger and cheese fries from Muskies on Lincoln & George... right across the street from the Elbo Room.
I'm having trans problems and my Queen is going in the shop tomorrow. 
Hopefully 
she'll be back in time for the meet.

uhh ohh.....this is getting bad. I will still try to make it, for sure. TSX Wisc, PM me your cell # just incase I come and I am running late or something. Otherwise, which route are you going and maybe we can meet along the way. I live in brookfield, but I will be out near Oak Creek 94 & Rawson area in the morning till about 11 or so. Maybe we can meet around there and I will follow you.
