Well it sounds like i might be spending my sat or sun changing the rims over too. Altho i think while i'm at it i'm gonna do my brakes too which i've been putting off for a while now.

If I go to the track here tomorrow (Shannonville) I would have to go with winter tires cause they are getting put on the car today. We got a light amount of snow and some freezing rain here last night. It caused havock for the people that didn't drive for the weather too.

Cars in for service today, if they tell me the tires are iffy, I'm gonna throw on a set of Hankook W300 on the rims I have and run 'em over the winter and maybe year round, since another forum praises 'em for year round use.

I thought you were driving a Chrysler 300 not a Durango. What kind of tire size is that?
Time To Throw The Winter Tires On. - darkpuppet - 10-13-2006
the 300's run tractor tires.
... feels like i just put the stock tires away... now I gots to put them back on? boo...
I'm holding out for 2 more weeks... here's hoping...

Yep. and there is only like 3 or 4 manufacturers who make tires in that size.
I'd like to get a set of nokian's this year, but i figure i could use the extended warranty more.
I hope the stock conti's dont suck too bad in the snow.

You might have to drop down to 17 inch steelies with a taller tire. (How big are your brakes? Clearance?)

After cruising around in the freezing slush yesterday and today, I've decided that the 16s stay on until at least Halloween.
I know some of you had some bad dealings with Pirellis and snow, but damn... I was just fine. I carved through slush buildups like I had the 14s on.

Well after seeing more snow/hail today I've decided as long as tomorrow is a decent day I'm gonna change over to my stock rims. Don't wanna be caught with my summer rims/tires on should we get a freak snow storm here like Fort Erie got this week.
Time To Throw The Winter Tires On. - habmann - 10-16-2006
Well today i finally managed to get the summer rims off and put the stockers on. I also did the front brakes while i was at it. After driving all summer with the 17's on, I can't help but hate what the stock 15's look like no.
Anthony did you end up doing the brakes on your car this weekend? As it stands right now i don't have much of anything going on next weekend, if you want a hand doing the front brakes next weekend let me know.
