just $500 for 4 set of wheels and rims? where did you buy and how much... are you on steel rims? I assume blizzaks are atleast $120 a piece and 50 - 60 for the steel rims....

What rims are those. looks nice....... Are those WS80 I hear they are awesome in snow slush wet conditions more than the XICE 3.. one question how is the braking. do still still feel the ABS kick in and sliding on full snow covered roads and possible ice and slope..... I have a snow tire...

Yes Space isnt the problem. Its the inconvenience of having the winter set. I'm only half way in and it was a pain carrying the tires up 2 storey building. And even the idea of having a jack and storing winter tires and switching them twice a year isnt all that bad.... I am with you. The...

I know it shuts off my rear defogger after a few min of having it ON. It was driving me nuts making me think did I turn it OFF accidentally or it shut off by itself.

Its pretty cool you had the option to test multiple Top 10 winter tires. I am glad to hear that winter tires handle only OK+ at worst conditions and I can live with the money I spent for best handling in normal conditions. I heard the Michelin XICE 2 and 3 are pretty good handling as well and...

Im curious are you actually making money by buying and selling cars in couple years or you just have a big wallet from you day job that you can afford the losses... I was drooling over to fancy the chances of getting a 2018 BMW x3 M40i but the timing and price simply put me beyond reach

Yes but I live in an apartment and the luxury of having a small shop in the garage to do things yourself doesn't really help me and people like me in this situation. I agree with you on tire rotation, wheel balancing would probably be required just to make sure the weights did not shift or got...

It might be a rip off. But the importance of Wheel balancing is undeniable.

Yes but Discount usually has Wheel balancing and tire rotation together as a package. I would have to find one that is itemized so I can pick and choose. But the cost isnt terrible if I can wrap my head around the benefits have winter tires is superior to the all season then its worth it...

So with high hopes and excitement I got myself a set of new wheels and BEST category winter tires.... Here is my 2cents if you are planning on getting winter tires. Likes: 1. The acceleration and grip you get off the line is amazing, no slipping what so ever, felt definitely quicker off the...

Mine works fine. doesnt turn off and gets HOT pretty fast. However I am dissappointed in the heated seats and windshield deicer. it takes atleast 15 min for the seat to get HOT at LEVEL 3 and LEVEL 2 keeps it warm after 15min and LEVEL 1 is good for nothing cant feel anything. When asked...

Yes I am quite impressed with mazda AWD. I just drove 60miles for no reason when it was snowing here yesterday with my winter tire setup and I have to say it was very good. reminded me of my EVO X days. The good thing about the AWD is that the handling is very predictive and the fact that you...

I have K&N. Its only been 3months yes its cost saving in the long run not having to replace filter every year. In terms of performance it was very hard to notice (for me) the gains or small change in exhaust note. you would have to go with CAI or SRAI to see 5hp gains and exhaust sound...
