Is your winter setup Blizzaks on your summer wheels or are these dedicated wheels? I thought about doing this but it seems expensive to unmount, mount, and balance for each season. I ended up buying a whole winter tire/wheel setup. Looks nice BTW

Thanks! Yes, these are dedicated to winter. I have another set of enkei wheels for the summer.

That goes against the common wisdom that a smaller tire patch is good for snow driving. But I don't think it has ever been properly tested. Let us know how it goes with a wide patch.

I ran a similar set up on multiple cars before and have never had an issue. These tires are more for the cold than the snow for me
