I got my snow tires today.

Winter tire time is 2 months away as I definitely need to pull the summers off my FR-S by Nov. 01 as I don't want to risk seeing any snow with my summer tires.

Apparently winter tires go up 15% Sept 01.

I got 205 55 R16s on 16 inch rims from Tire Bay on Merivale near Tony Graham. They really run a good shop with top notch customer service and a great selection of wheels and tires.

The 205 55 R16 is the same diameter as the summer tires but they give you more tire options at a better price.

They set me up with gun metal rims to go with my Asphalt paint and a nice set of Continental Contact tires for less than $1500.00

The trick was to find a 5 x 100 16 inch rim that clears the brake calipers.

The RSSW rims they got me fit great and are powder coated instead of painted so the salt won't destroy the finish.
