So, what's YOUR winter setup look like? - Page 2 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Dunlop Wintersport M3's 225/45/18 + AWD + snow = wooo!
Also, Rally Armor Mudflaps

It's n/a with pretty much every bolt on. The engine is tired though.

They're 5x115 with a 24 mm offset and a 70.3mm hub. They would work fine on 114.3 and even better with a hub centric ring.

Not changing a thing, subbie with all-season on it!

For all you subbie owners, isn't this what we look forward to as opposed to the RWD guys?

My winter tires

And by winter tires I mean my summer tires I run year round. Hoping it doesn't snow much this year.

Omar_MSP · 11-30-2009, 05:29 AM

same as last year for me

Scapegoat · 11-30-2009, 09:21 AM

i'll leave the traction control on

sundaybikes · 11-30-2009, 10:06 AM

hopefully by the time the weather gets bad my mom will be back to working at home, so ill be able to drive this when it is snowy/salty:

Mr.Crx · 11-30-2009, 10:10 AM

Just this year..

This was the winter ride for 2yrs or so...
40mpg's and a set of Nokian Hakka's.

Mid year, this was supposed to tackle winter duty...

Sold that because we found this...
AWD and 5spd, woo hoo!

ahhhh yes along with the bitching n complaining of students who can't make it to class, i have at least a 40min commute one way & I drive through mostly anything...looooove AWD BUT it's still sad to see her covered in salt/snow

Eclipse GSX 61 · 11-30-2009, 10:48 AM

I rock everything the same year round. Who says you cannot daily drive a DSM? It's been done for 2 years through all types of weather now.

This. And I have all season tires. Should be interesting though, that is for sure. (our traction control pisses me off the way it works)

Scapegoat · 11-30-2009, 10:55 AM

i won't be putting on winter tires. if its too bad to drive i'll stay home. though, i need to figure out why i can't get onto the work network from home anymore.

so really, my winter set up is sitting on my couch working

OBEEWON · 11-30-2009, 11:35 AM

The only thing Im changing is my throttle modulation. Real men DD RWD through the snow. A LSD and decent tread is all you need.

blkZ06 · 11-30-2009, 11:49 AM

snow...whats snow

Hope you don't get asked to pop your trunk when you get pulled over.

sorry dude, but thats darwin award style right there...
hopefully you realize that summer tires aren't just dangerous when there's snow on the ground, that they're dangerous when its cold in general... which will be 100% of the days between december and february, or longer.
if not for yourself and your car, then for the safety of everyone else... at least put a set of all seasons on the thing. summer tires are for warm weather use only!

last year i got into an accident with a mustang owner who was on summer tires... in the snow... so ignorant
