Default Winter wheels are on!

Tonight
Snow. Amount 2 to 4 cm. Wind becoming south 20 km/h early this evening then northwest 30 gusting to 50 near midnight. Low -6ēC

Friday
Periods of snow. Amount 2 cm. Wind northwest 40 km/h gusting to 60. High -1ēC

Friday night
Cloudy with 60 percent chance of flurries. Wind northwest 30 km/h. Low -5ēC


The snow likely won't stick around, but it should be pretty greasy out there the next couple of days. It was definitely time for these...

Thanks, Alex!

With the wheels I mostly just wanted something easy to clean that looked good. A basic 5-spoke is the way to go for that. I also figured the extra tire sidewall I would get with an 18" wheel size might give me a bit more forgiving ride.

We had a bit, but it's supposed to get back up into the teens this weekend! Woohoo!

Just a quick update: Regina finally saw significant snow and ice about two weeks ago and the Pirelli's I bought have been performing beautifully! They have had great traction on both snow and ice without giving up much in handling or braking on dry pavement. They are a bit noisier than the summer tires, but that is to be expected with any winter tire.

Good timing on the snows, I've had mine on for a month, I did it same time as I do each year but snow is pretty late.

18", RS4 Replicas 235/60/R18. Awesome ride, no noise. Tires are made by Falken. Installed 1600 cash. Shop in Markham.

Great looking stuff Warcity. What is the shops name in Markham? Any vibration at high speed?

Hi GenSpec: Here is the site: MaximWheels: Wheels in Toronto don't call them their phone is always busy, email them, Guy named Jason will probably email you back real quick. They're VERY good. Price is great, product is good and you can trust them. No vibration AT all. I highly recommend.
