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.

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.

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.
