Default Winter Boots

I went out and bought a 17" set of twist repros and Yokohama AVS winter sports. What a difference! Not only is the wet-cold traction phenominal but after riding our tortured roads on those cruel shoe 30 series 18's the car rides like a BMW, smooth like butter. Not quite the razor handling but the pillow ride is a nice touch. I'm thinking a set of 17's for summer touring. Did I lose sight here?

I have the same question ... I just took off my 18" Technology rims with new P-Zero Asymmetricos and put on new 17" factory twists with Dunlop Winter Sports and I'm amazed at how much more comfortable the car feels.

And I just bought a set of brand new 18" 5-spoke Carrera lightweights, too, with P-Zero Rossos ... anybody want 'em? I think the Technology rims are sold already.

If you think the 17's ride so good, wait until you try some 16's. Talk about a Town Car ride.
