I've got a focus, and had an 89YJ that was getting a 6inch lift on 35s, 360 V8 swap... but it got scrapped.

Guess I'm not the only focus owner who likes jeeps

Nice man, I didn't bother with a conventional lift. I went straight for the SOA to fit the 33s. Honestly I could fit 35s nicely but 35s + D35 = Boom regardless how light your foot is. lol

I feel waaaaaay more comfy with them being on.

I agree with this, however the nanny state requiring my Jeep to have "winter" tires when my 4x4 on Truxus MTs do great in winter anyway is a little ridiculous. Go out and try and find me a winter tire in 33x12.5R15s lol. Its impossible. My only choice is grab some BFG ATs and hope the cop doesnt know that only certain load ranges of those tires are considered "severe weather tires"

Just remember that just as important as the tread is the compound ... winter tires are designed in all aspects for colder weather; and frankly all-season tires are a compromise year round.

Even in GTA when there is no snow, you can tell who has winter tires and who hasn't. It's a shame that it takes a law to make people do the sensible thing.

Thing is ZTW, that having a second set of wheels is a luxury not everyone can afford, for both practical reasons (IE: If you live in a condo where do you store the "off season" tires) and not just economic ones.

Not that I'm condoning it mind, I eat the cost of the extra set and storage because I like to know that I'm as prepared as I can be for whatever Mother Nature decides to throw at me
