Winter tires
« on: February 07, 2010, 01:54:12 pm »
Well im gonna be heading up to mt Washington on saturday and I have some nittos on my car about 245 wide. So I was wondering if someone would lend a set of winter tires for a case of beer. I can leave you my wheels for added insurance if thats an issue.

I have a set of 205/55-16" all seasons w/ plenty of tread on 1Ga swirlies I'd be happy to lend out.

They aren't snow tires, but being narrower and a m+s tire, they'll do much better.

I've driven to Parksville and back twice for rallycross on them - the balance isn't perfect but they're pretty good.

you will be fine on your tires you got. I plowed threw 3ft with almost bald summer tires. Just not the best but you will make it.
