Running bigger tires on stocks for winter. The move from 205/50 to 215/50 on the stock wheels is incredible! So smooth. Like a Buick. If you're running stock wheels, do this simple upgrade. The handling won't be as tight but it will be so much more comfrtable to you. I got some cheap Velozza's M&S for $57 each. They seem pretty good so far, but we haven't had any snow yet. The RX-8 wheels are off and I'll probably send them to get powdercoated again before i put them up for sale. New shoes for the spring. I'm keeping my 5 a few more years so I want a different look. Ive had it 5+ years and over 100,000 miles. No major issues and its holding up pretty well so It'll still have a home in my driveway!
