sounds like you know exactly what you're doing if you've had a set of dedicated snows for the winter. I know you have enough wheels, just grab another set. Or you could always do that 17x7/195 setup you were talking about. Either way a seperate set is the way to go.

Yes sir! I had a set of WS-50 on my old VIII wheels immediately after I bought the car. I got rid of them this summer though. But winter is coming in a few, and I dont even have all seasons to drive on. So time to make some moves!

chu wanna borrow my a/s on my x wheels and see how awesome they are?

i wonder if they make snow tires in 305 sizes. that would be awesome. j/k. i don't really understand how a skinnier tire is better in the snow though. you would think that a good grabby tread with a larger contact patch would fair better.....kind of like a tank.....oh wait a tank is on tracks. idk.

all i know is that septa's maps are retarded. i just spent 40 minutes trying to figure out how to take public transportation out to broomall from the city. sorry but a downward line on a white background with a bunch of street names doesn't facilitate my navigation skills. don't ask me why i'm on public transportation today .

Skinny tires break thru the snow better, more ground pressure per square inch.

bring it, home slice.

i was saying to chu yesterday that whenever we pull something like that, you're the one that's always like "i don't know if you guys are serious but if you are that's F'd up" or whatever.

i don't think we can play these games and have people believe them anymore.

the best was over text josh and i were messing with chu about something then i told chu what was up so we both kept going along with it with josh to see how far he'd take it. i believe his words for that was a "mind f^ck."

marc being involved made me wonder if it was legit, but just for a bit.

Na i know Chris's car, and that car was shipped down south anyway i beleive.
This car wasn't mint or built like a show/strip car, it was very low key and supposedly has the power like i mentioned.
I mean there is always going to be new stuff out there but it just surprises me when a car of that caliber just randomly shows up in the area. Didn't sound like a 600hp evo but it was a IX & they can be deceiving. Hopefully it shows up again.

You know whats funny chu, i thought it was your car when it pulled in since you were texting me abut coming earlier on. I walk over and realized it wasn't you like 8 feet from the guys door so i had to say whats up and that point lol

8 inch is nothing, especially with AWD. I drive through that in a FWD Camry! It's the 20inches that matters.

I'm just thinking how much snow we really get all winter long? BTW, I'm buying wheels and tires, not just tires! (Ideally 17x7, and 195)
I maintained 60-70 on 309 during the blizzard.. You are a panzy
