idk what the deal is in your area but there's always like 20-35$ used tires to get that will at least have some tread. I know money doesn't grow on trees and times can get tough but its always an option if need be

My sister works pretty close to where I go to school, will just be getting a ride with her for the week coming up.

I come expecting to see good thing and I see this. Cluadio man you got to wise up dude. Did you not brother with getting an alingment after putting the N+ on the car?

This sister?

Yeah next year for sure. Its funny you say Dark Knight because I was having lunch outside earlier this year and looking at it that name just popped in my head. It felt pretty suiting. I'm not one for giving nicknames to my car but I think that one fits the bill. Maybe I'll adopt it ha.

Yeah the hassle of mounting it though meh...

Not right now lol thanks.

I know I should of started moving my chess pieces a little earlier. I didn't bother getting an alignment because the tires were on the way out anyways so preserving them wasn't a priority.

Yep that one.

Update:

So I derped out... The Michelin X-Ice 2s were on a closeout sale with a $70 rebate on top so the size I needed got sold out.

I had to look into other options and luckily enough learned about another tire that was just as good albeit not having a debate or sale going on. I also went with a different size than the 195/55/15 that I had in mind. Luckily the price was MUCH better than the rest of the options so better tire for less money = win.

I just ordered a set of 185/60/15 General AltiMAX Artics. They are rated #1 on Tire Rack in the Studdable tire category while the X-Ice 2 was rated #1 in the Studless tire category. The Generals don't come studded unless you choose to for an extra $15 per tire. Studded is not for me due to all the noise they make and lower traction in dry, and Tire Rack did tests and found that studless works just as good if not better than studded. The only time studded tires had an advantage was on clear ice and even then it was marginal so absolutely no need for studs. While I did miss out on the X-Ice 2 offer, I am still getting just as good of a tire basically. For snow, you want a skinnier tire to cut through the snow better (think of a knife going through butter) so it works out good. The FireStone Winterforces were also available in the same size and the same price and that is also another great option but I went for the Generals as they appear to have some nice advantages (http://blog.tirerack.com/blog/roll-o...studdable-snow).





Anyways, they'll be here Wednesday.

My friend you disappoint me. After I change my axle's I have my buddy check my Alingment. An alingment after a major change like that should be high on the list to do. You are lucky nothing worse happened where you damaged the car or end up getting into a wreck. Saftey first then team work.

SHG_Claudio

Yeah I mean I tried doing the front toe. Got it as best as I could with my uneven driveway.

cranberry

You need to pay to get it done until you master it.

You'll like the winters you chose. I put them on my brothers VW GLI VR6 and they held that big fat turd in our Canadian winters. He just bought a brand new diesel Jetta that's getting the same tires. When my winter Civic needs new winters thats what its going to get...unless the Toyo's come down in price :p

SHG_Claudio

Got my new tires put on last night

I hope you meant something other than axles -- because howwould changing an axle affect the alignment of your car.

cranberry

You in theory are taking thing's apart and since I have a friend who does my alignment's I always have the front checked after any time I take the front apart. I also driver 1200 miles a week for my job, so is my toe is slightly off I will see wear on my tire's with then 4 day worth of driving. Better safe then sorry. He swapped his coil over's and didn't brother with it.

new tires look nice and meaty for the bad weather

Jdm Dina

you got pics up of the car and the condition? I might be interested in a shell if its a SI

SHG_Claudio

Yep, just waiting for it now. Have tried some extreme performance street tires and have an idea of what sick grip is like, now I see the other side of the spectrum, sick grip on snow! Can't wait.





See the page before this one.

Updates soon...
