yep, but its what you need to live with on a 225 square.

Its not bad, perse, just silly looking

Hmm.... Is this what you'd guys suggest for the Conti DWS I was looking at? Gonna be using my car in eastern Ohio for the next month or so. I'm typically in Oklahoma so I've never had a winter up north.

I'm in the same boat. Just need to be a little bit more careful around curbs...

be careful this winter with those rears...they can lead to this.

Ask me how I know
