Not going to my car, but my brother's. I picked these up an hour ago. It's a pair of WS-60 and WS-50 Blizzaks. He won them on ebay.
Now there are three sets of unused tires in the household. The number of tires is too damn high!!! It's becoming a tire shop in here...

Fortunately I don't have to worry about a winter set. Lol it's rare we see winter weather in SC. Though when we do it's either snow flurries or a doozie of a ice storm.- Thread starter

Lucky. My town decided to halt the plowing midway through the last snowfall so the roads were left unplowed. It was not a fun drive going home from work that night...- Thread starter

It's an amazon box that is large enough to cover the 19" diameter wheels. It has a hole on the top for a hair dryer and exit holes on the bottom corners. I didn't want to use a heat gun bc the one I have only has a min heat setting of 400F. It's too high for that use.

Engineers always find a way.
I had to figure something out to bake the wheels since they don't fit the kitchen oven. Convection ovens are small since the convection fans are located on the back.I
when I saw the oven. The wheels look like they came out great!
I'm using VHT paint. VHT paint needs to be baked to be cured. The hair dryer can definitely pass over 150F, especially in a closed room like the amazon box.

Same when I was baking the valve cover. Now I can just use the box and bake anything in the basement, garage, or anywhere outside!
