you can see i swapped mine, but im not so sure if those new wheels are ever gonna come off the car again.  i hate swapping wheels and the new tires are all season but im not so sure about a 235 width tire on an 18 inch wheel in the snow

I'll be taking them off Theresa's car soon, then buying new summer tires :(

Quote me now while I'm feeling good about it.  I've decided a WRX will be the vehicle that replaces the Jeep.  I can't see paying Evo prices or justifying purchasing a halfassed/beat to death example for the same asinine amount of money.  For an affordable, point to point, all-weather capable performance car, a wagon fits the bill.  A swapped wagon, even better.

I was running my auto-x tires for most of the winter, now i've actually put my 'snows' the RE-92s, back on the car.     :-(

Hooray for being ass-backwards! :crazy2:

I don't have much tread on my summer setup, so I'll probably hold off until I am confident I have no snow to worry about (mid/late April)

lol.. since I never changed on my snows I wont be switching to anything for summer ..

Though I did pick up a newer set of all-seasons for 40$.. so I will be swapping those onto stock rims sometime.. after i get an alignment, or before I trade it in....

holy fuck i was getting on 787 tonight and got on it a little bit... it was raining, i stepped on the gas and the car started swerving all over the fucking road.  holy shit it scared the hell out of me, these tires have worked great on the dry pavement and i didnt have any other problems the rest of the way home, i dont know if there was ice in that one spot or what.  i thought it was too warm for ice.  either way it didnt leave me with a good feeling

tom's little road is probably a blast to drive on right now.  Too bad his yard probably resembles a swamp from the water.

I had no trouble this morning or this afternoon.  Baja FTW.  Allseasons FTW.  Subaru FTW.
