You're on blizzaks and you can't get traction? Something doesn't add up. It's probably the ride height.

Hard to tell from the pics, but, are those alloys or hubcabs on steelies? Either way, I like the look. |

I also have the cheapest snows known to man on it (long story) which gives me zero performance abilities but absolutely rock in deep snow and on ice.

And the hub caps were a Christmas present from the wife so I am not near brave enough to say I am not using them!

LOL, I'm not that far away (Breslau is about an hour away near Kitchener/Waterloo/Guelph/ Cambridge), I'm on steelies as well and was curious where he got them. |

They actually don't look bad - better than bare steel. I wish that I could get my wife to buy car parts. I guess she would figure that she is an enabler then. |

Cheap Canadian Tire caps. They actually sort of grew on me and don't look tooooo horrid when they are clean. Must admit I have considered having them all "stolen" while at work a few times but wife would just surprise me with new ones so why bother.

Maybe someday both of us will get summer upgrades and then turn the OEM wheels into the winter rims. |

Had more then one of my twice a week trips to Windsor on the 401 that it was just me and the transports (and not even all of them made it) that were still moving. I could almost hear the AWD guys with their "all seasons" stuck on the side of the highway cursing me as I motored on past them.

Running 16" as well for winter for the same reason, but, I keep thinking that I might upgrade to 18 inchers for the summer and then at least make use of the OEM rims. The only limiting factor is $$$$, so, it really isn't an option for the foreseeable future. |

So... I am just going to stick to stock and maybe just plastidip them to get rid of the silver. I really don't mind them on the lowered car and a set of spacers to bring them out a bit should make me happy enough.

I'm well aware. But I do not see any other reason for why he wouldn't be able to pull out of his driveway on blizzaks. I got some cheap dunlop winters and I've plowed through 6'+ of snow
