Winter tire comedown. :(

1HungryMan · 11-28-2008, 09:33 AM

My snows are on, but the drive is just so dull with snows on. I miss my old car.

Spongy, suspension not as tight, can't count on cornering anwhere as tight. The car's a yawner now.

What tires and size did you get?

I agree, it is quite a come down. I went with 225/45/18's on fairly light wheels just to ensure the come down wasn't too much.

Think of it as more fun now that it doesn't grip as hard. Easier to power oversteer coming out of corners!
