winter tires

I'm contemplating buying an RX8. Can you fit 4 tires and wheels in the car, or do you need to leave them at the dealer like my G35tires? This could also be problematic if you use R tires on track days.

If the tires are mounted, yes. One in the trunk & three in the back seats.

+1 That's how I did it when I changed into my summer tires yesterday.

I transport mine the same way.
My local dealer is selling tire transport bags. They are pretty sturdy and have handles for easy (and clean) transfer. I'm thinking of picking some up if they'll fit my wheels.
