Figures, the weather goes from 30* to 60* overnight, well either way, I am ready to tackle some snow.

$705 package from discount tire direct.

16.5" steelies on 205/60/16 General Altimax Artics

offset 115

I have to say, under normal driving conditions you can really feel the flex of the sidewall.

April cant come fast enough!

lol thanks champ

yup. If you hadn't installed snow tires, blizzard.

edit- I picked up the same size package from Tire Rack, but with Dunlop Wintersport 3D tires. They get at least 90-95% the traction of any other snow tire, but dry cornering is still surprisingly responsive.

At least it's a good thing right? It's like when I drive with snow chains in the trunk I never need it. The few times I don't have those chains, I actually need it..

WinterSport 3d are definitely a better choice for a sports car. I have a set on my S2000. Fantastic tires in the white stuff, very good in warm/dry "normal" conditions as well
