New Snow Shoes Pics

Just got my new winter shoes mounted:

17x7 Anthracite Borbet LV5 wheels & 205/50R17 General Altimax Arctic tires with TPMS (from our Sponsor Tire Rack).

Afterwards one of the mechanics at the place I had them mounted wanted to know if I was heading to Canada or further North with this set up

Driving Impression: Much better absorbing bumps than the 18" run flats, but less stable and the TCS indicator is readily activated as these are easier to spin. So I'm taking it easy overall until spring...

That's a really nice looking setup for winter gear
