my two winter modes

Renegade_ · 12-13-2006, 06:45 PM

I don't have a winter setup - I'm running summer tires during the winter...

If I had money for winter tires they would be on my car right now. I'm looking for some 16" tires to throw on my stockers.

i like you, but thats just idiotic and you are probably going to wreck if you try to make it through the winter with summer tires on. hopefully that'll make you take it a little more seriously and you can find some cheap used all seasons or snow tires. check out craigslist for tires, i just found a great set on there.

my winter wheels and tires are going on tomorrow morning... i'm actually excited to go from 17s with summer tires to 16s with snows because the wheels are all-business badass 16x7 RS 6 spoke wheels and the tires are also all-business super highly recommended Dunlop Wintersport M3s which has nothing but amazing reviews on TireRack.

^^ i read that too on tirerack, if i drove my car in the snow i would probably run some of those...

for the most part, i like stock wheels cuz i dont have to worry about rub

RyanG · 12-13-2006, 07:32 PM

<-- M3's here. you will LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE them

I'm not driving the car at all - I am just not going to bother changing the tires. I am garaging my car in about a week and then a week after that I am going to Germany...

GeforceXtreme · 12-13-2006, 08:15 PM

Here is my winter setup.

ILikeItSideways · 12-13-2006, 08:22 PM

I am going by myself, it is kind of a 2.5 week period for me to go back - it's been so long since I've been there; gotta get in touch with friends I haven't talk to in a long time.

After I get back in january I basically get my father's car to drive for the winter. I also get the house for 3 weeks but that is another story

X2 it defeates the purpose of having AWD. I'm not coming at you guys I mean its your car but really its AWD we rule this time of the year! My winter is getting put on this week. Stock RS rims with rally armor mudflaps.

05Accent · 12-13-2006, 11:39 PM

i like that pic alot.. yea ur stockers look sweet as well so u dont have to worry about nothing.. haha

james_ls · 12-13-2006, 11:43 PM

Looks actually like a very CLEAN winter setup.

HDR came out...ok. Looks like tonemapping to me.

lol, it pretty much is tone mapping, but i did take like 6 shots...
which is why i said i failed at creating a good HDR, but the pic came out cool

oh and that set up doesnt get driven in the winter, i just bring the REAL wheels inside to polish

those have Bridgestone Potenza s03's - dont think those would fare well in the snow

Honduh · 12-14-2006, 12:14 AM

I still think it looks sexy.

ozthunder · 12-14-2006, 12:19 AM

I'll drive an Altima if it snows. If not, the all-seasons should be alright. Hell, I made it last year with summers on the Zed..

I'm gonna be overseas.... so there really isn't a point not to...

**TROLL** · 12-14-2006, 12:22 AM

woohoo i forgot about my mudflaps, i guess i'll have to put those on tomorrow morning too, if i can find all the hardware for them at least. they make the car look so much more... hardcore. less pretty more rugged. wow the exterior of my car is going to change a ton real soon since its so bare right now.

current non-stock exterior bits:
Liberal grill
OEM Side Strakes
17" gold Prodrive P7 wheels

adding (some is just putting back on again):
16" 00-01 silver RS wheels
Rallyarmor replica mudflaps
OEM Front Lip
OEM Rear Lip
JDM OEM Rainguards
jimtweet limited edition window spoiler

hope everyone recognizes me

DuBTEK3060 · 12-14-2006, 12:25 AM
