Who's driving their car through the winter? If so when are you putting snows on?
I test fitted my snow setup at work the other day. Here's what I'll be doing, just cause I can. It's dip your cars new plasti dip full spectrum blue.

I drive my car year round and I'm keeping my Kosei wheels on with all-season tires. If I had more expensive wheels it would be a different story.

Honestly I didn't listen to the forecast much, I got sick of hearing the reports elaborate on how big the storm is because it stretches most of the east coast. I wouldn't mind just rain though :D

debating on if i wanna buy new tires or not. feel like i've had some slipping when the ground is wet at times (not all the time however) going on 10 months since i got the car but i think that driving half way across the country and back this summer took a toll on them lol.

I bought new all-seasons not too long ago. They perform well in dry/wet, but the dusting of snow we had a couple of days ago was iffy. I felt my car fish tailing while driving on the highway, it was very windy though and I doubt my chassis/tie bar break cold air easily...
