I've had mine on for 2 weeks now, I still haven't gotten used to it.. ESP with 225's, they look narrow as hell.

Putting my stock wheels on the X is also very dramatic especially since the slightly wider with a lesser offset aftermarket wheels don't completely fill it out in the first place.

working on Sunday FTL

I'm on the same snow tires for the EVO since 2005! After drag racing, autox & HPDE, along with lots of street miles the tires still have decent tread left. This year I'm trying something different. I picked up some snows for the e30 that should be here Monday. Can't beat $232 shipped for 4 new tires, lol.

I did 6 seasons on my last set, they still had life but the grip was all gone. I think they just got too hard overtime.
The BMW might go pretty well with snows, you plan on putting any extra ballast in the trunk?

Mine still had decent enough grip last winter to drive around without issue. We'll see how they do this winter.

The e30 is pretty light, but no ballast will be added. If we get any decent snow fall I'll take the truck.

Is your truck 2 or 4 wheel drive?
