Well, winter is here and I finally installed the Blizzaks WS-50's. Nothing like the tires that came with the car but nonetheless they handle well and haven't seemed to rob any power.

Don't see myself going anywhere fast with these about 20-30 percent decrease in handling. I rather that than making love to the tree once it starts to snow and ice up. I got them from tirerack.com and had a great experience. The rims are KAZ KZ-V's.

I feel sorry for you guys that have to get winter wheels and tyres. :(

Yeah, it's a safety thing ;)

I bought the same tires last year. They stick like glue - they're great on sleet/ice and I was able to stop when people around me were sliding around like crazy.

I did keep close track of the weather forecast when spring came around tho- looking forward to taking them off after the last chance of snowfall and being able to zoom around those corners again :)

Just ordered the same tires, but will put them on a second set of stock rims. The summer tires start to lose a lot of grip at the current temperature and it's not even freezing yet.

Ill be sure to update you guys about my experience with these tires as the bad weather rolls in ;)
