Good job attempting to plow that parking lot! ;-)

I actually am quite looking forward to doing that with the FRS. I wouldn't let the Corvette see any snow so this will be a fun new experience!

haha I wondered how long it would take to deteriorate into memes. For the record my OEM wheels have "winter set" written all over them.

Anyone know if there's a car cover that's custom fitted for the FR-S similar to the BRZ one?

I understand if you don't want the brz logo, but what's the difference in fit? Same car, no?

djdnz · 10-03-2012, 10:25 AM

As most Canadians should know, all seasons aren't good in any season :P

CBR600RR · 10-03-2012, 10:54 AM

Here is my winter set up:

Enkei 16x7 rims (not sure the model)
Toyo winters 205/55/16 (not sure the model)

The tread width on the 205's are actually about half an inch wider that the Primacy 215's.

Bought them used off kijiji have only one season on the tires. The rims have seen better days but they will look way better that steelies.

Yep, I'd assume it would be almost the exact same fit, however, I'd rather not have the BRZ logo. If nothing comes up in the next month to month and a half, I'll order the BRZ one. Maybe try selling it next year and buying an FR-S one.

ehh?

if by most you mean SIX, then yes.

The vast majority of Canadian drivers are clueless racoons, high on crack and buried so deep in ignorance that by 2015 they will come up with a new word for it.

djdnz · 10-03-2012, 01:53 PM

should know

Pforwell · 10-03-2012, 02:41 PM

I've got steelies on order. I may paint them bronze or red. I don't think Steelies will look horrible, but regardless, they are about function. Avoiding Ice pack in the wheels is key.

I think with a good set of winter tires (and sensible driving) winter shouldn't be too bad.
