Default Made the change to the snow wheels

I decided to make the move to the Pirelli Scorpion Ice/Snows on Turbo wheels. It came close to snowing the other day, and I figured it wasn't worth the risk of being caught in even a couple of inches with the 20" wheels. I also figured that I wouldn't mind the difference in handling (I don't run it very hard) and it wouldn't hurt to save on the 20" tires.

I can't say that I mind the softer ride much, athough I do notice a significant difference flying up/down my favorite mountain, winding road. The biggest change for me is the look; I love the Sport Designs.

Now I'm looking forward to the snow.

I am holding off a couple more week, temp is supposed to reach 60f here in NY today, too warm for the winter tires. The Pirellis are great.

Waiting a least a few more weeks- always hate doing it as it is a sign of winter, snow and salt on the way! I have Dunlop Granteks mounted on 18" Italia AT wheels- very happy with them- do well in the dry which is what you're driving on most of the time. Also do well in the deep stuff...
