I'm not going to.

Well the Chicago land area got hit with 16in of snow over the weekend so I thought it be a good idea to put on my snow tire/wheels. And I love the look

205/55-16 BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK WS80 on 16X7 SPARCO TERRA

Overall the tires are great and will get through about anything your front end will allow. Highway driving is not great with these, anything past 70 is sketchy.
The car feels more loose up top and you gain about half an inch in height maybe less.

I took the Spraco Decals off the wheels prior before putting them on the car Andy Blackmore is sending me some vectors of Subaru so I can get some decals to put on the wheels I think it will look better.

I wish they made the Terra in gold in 16s

But I guess I can always get them painted.

Pulled out of a gas station like a bat out of hell on stock tires at between 35-40 degrees Fahrenheit and got REAL sideways. At the colder temps the tires are hardening up and slid more than I expected but I just went with it and gave it some gas to have a little fun and then straightened her out. Good times. But in all seriousness it'll be time for snows soon.

Cold weather and snow are headed my way soon and I'm looking to buy some Blizzaks. So you went with the 205? That's the narrower one right? And you went whole hog and got the studless ice and snow? These are the two things I'm debating. 205's or 215's? Performance or studless ice and snow? But, I guess since the car is so light and rear wheel drive, that you probably made the right decision here.

Just installed the asd hydro ebrake with dual calipers from spencer fab.

I went with the 205, it is narrower but taller more sidewall. I had a hard time debating the performance LM's compared to the WS's just like you.

Chicago sees it fair share of sub below zero temps and snow from the month of Dec/Jan/Feb. Just didn't wanna risk it in those days you wish you needed a better tire. I commute daily 40 miles round trip.

I also live on a side street that does not get to much plow action so the ice below the snow was a concern for me.

But lately the winter in Chicago have been tamed from the years past but you just never know..... But its damn fun driving in these in the snow ! feels rally carish.
