Thanks! I'll give him a call, tho' it may not be until tomorrow. Just thought it odd that the website came up empty!

Oh, and I forgot to ask my obvious question: What size tires did you end up getting for snow tires? From reading threads and talking to tire stores, sounds like I should be aiming for 225/50-17's.

Are you sure about the size? I see 245/40/18, 245/45/18 and 235/50/18...but not the one you have. Where did you get them? I like them, but don't see that size...at least at the TireRack anyways. https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...+Bright+Silver |

WOW!!! That was an awsome deal!!!! I wish they'd bring them back this year...those were cheaper than 17" snow tires.

just got these on this weekend- Dunlop wintersport M3s on Motegi FF7's (17x7). had to get creative though.. the Motegis didn't fit over the front calipers at first.
|
Anyone get the Eagle GW3s V rated yet? I orded a set and just wanted to see if they have performed as well as the Dunlop M3s.

17x7 Momo with 225/50x17 Hankook W300s. Rides really quiet and handles the cold wet stuff pretty good. No snow yet to test them in. $840 at Beggs. Notice the dog nagging me about the rock chips! :p

A question for everyone with an 18 inch setup who went to 17 inch fro the winter. Didn't you also have to change your brakes? I went to Tire Discounters (who first tried to sell me Blizzacks for $300 per tire...jerks) and they said that if I downgraded to 17 inch wheel I would also need different brakes because the larger brakes that come standard on the manual transmission will not work with a 17 inch wheel.
I ended up getting Pirelli Snow Sports. 225/45/18 |
