Am set for winter!

2:11 AM now. Westwood Plateau got snow. It's melting now so it's turning into slush.

Called a friend who lives on Heritage Mtn after I read your post. She said it was hailing like a bitch this morning.

The LM25's are 16", though, right? Yeah, 18's are a pain in the butt to find/buy.

Had to go deep into Horseshoe Bay village to get them yesterday night though... what an adventure! Nearly ended up going all the way to Squamish because I missed the exit. :haha:

i had blizzak ws-50s on 225/55/16s. i sold these as i could not clear 16in wheels anymore.

Thats what I had planned to do, but the weather forecast is so inaccurate.
I'm just gonna wait until the temps are consistently under 7 degrees

damn it... my center caps and lugnuts haven't arrived yet!!!

!SG	11-10-2009 03:49 PM

what?! there are special winter lug nuts?!

just go to advance and get a regular set. i would run steelies but advanced autosport gave me a killer deal on the 17x8 +25 rims. cant say no to that! no steelies can get that type of offset!

mmmk	11-10-2009 04:47 PM

i put my winters on 3 weeks ago!

all these huge as POOLS of water on the roads is a sign that everyone should remove their summer wheels. i still see so many idiots with summer tires on.

What_the?

11-10-2009 06:15 PM

Put my winters on today too... don't wanna be caught in a random snowfall with summers...

so freaking heavy lugging my wheels back into my place though... ugh

I was trying to uninstall my summer rollers and after "breaking" one nut the key snapped.

What do you guys think?

advance auto in north van (the sponsor) ftw...got some tires for my integra from them and it was cheaper than total cost of getting it from tirerack and ipcking up at point roberts!

Don't trust weather.ca because last time I trusted their wack ass forecast I got stuck in a snow storm when their site was showing clear skies.

It's showing rain for the entire week and into the weekend here;

Temperatures seems to be on an average of about 7-9 degrees now. I swapped mines out 2 days ago (Monday). My summers are hard as rock and my winters are quite bouncy on the road No more wheel spin too!!! :lol (well okay maybe 1 or two today :p)

But you got all seasons? US/CAD price differentials on A/S are much less compared to high performance summer or winters.

Such a nice day today, debating whether I should swap em on or not; since it's gonna be hovering around 7 the next week or two.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 08:53 PM.
