Thumbs up Just installed Winter tires/wheels !!

I got a great price for the set. Winter tires are bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 (Performance Winter) . I wasn't going to spend too much money for the wheels and I wasn't too excited about putting them on...after installing I am actually liking them a lot...
















the size is 215/55/16 by the way

I think he means theres alot of tred and grip on those tires. Blizzaks are the best man.

i hate the way the car feels with the higher sidewall, but i like the way they look. the car has a lot more body roll, but looks lower. 6 to 1, 1/2 dozen the other. can't wait to get the 18's back on.

The great part about getting a seperate wheel is in the summer you have some rims for some drag radials...haha. I just got some winter rims and I think I'm gonna buy a set for the front to take to the track for the spring.
