I have the exact same wheels and tires for this winter that you have. I'm gonna have them put on either this weekend or next. I'll report back after I start driving on them. Did you re-tourque the lugnuts after you drove on them for 100 miles or so?

Default For all of you all season fans....

Not only do summer tires NOT work in the winter, here is a nice video of winter tires vs all season tires....

Thanks for the info. This is exactly the same set up I just bought; square all the way around. I've still got a month or so before we might get snow, but I'm very happy with the setup. I've used these tires before and they work really well.
