I have winter wheels and tires,from tire rack.
No problems with them, or the Blizzaks they came with.

From a customer of mine I sold a set of our Cup 4 wheels to last week. This is how you enjoy your car!

I'm actually going to take it out of the driveway and see how it handles in the snow in a little bit. The wife wants to do some Christmas shopping.

You think she'll mind if I turn off PSM and do some drifting?

Yup, big hype.

Yesterday they were saying that the snow would start late evening and continue until Sunday morning and that we would get 12-18 inches.

I got out of bed this morning and nada. They were still saying 12-18", but now it would start getting bad around 11:30am - white out conditions. We cancelled a christmas party for the kids.

We didn't even get half an inch before 2pm. It didn't even start coming down at a reasonable rate until 4pm.

They're still saying 12-15" but it will now be over by 10pm.

They're a bunch of f@#$ing idiots. I don't normally pay much attention to them and their magic 8 ball, but this time they really have excelled.

All day the tv stations had uninterrupted coverage of the much hyped and mostly non-existent "storm of the century". Ahem. Feel stupid yet? No, I didn't think so.
