I got my winter tires taken off on Saturday. OMG, it's like a whole new car. I kept thinking the car was feeling slow, but it was just those damn winter tires spinning so bad.
Woo hoo!!! Yay for spring!

Spring is always good.  I noticed when I put on my summers how much better my car handles. I put the drop springs on before the winters were off and it handles a lot better then. But then I put the summers on, and again it is a whole new car. |

You all must have mucho mooolah to have 2 sets of tires. I just have to stick with stockers... And they handle like poo across the board.

Well when I bought my car, it had summer tires stock. So I had no choice but to buy winter tires. I put the winters on the stock rims and bought new rims and summer tires.

Yeah, I couldn't have driven on mine in the winter. I wasn't exactly excited about buying winter tires I didn't bother with a second set of rims though, the place I go to only charges $24 to swap the tires on and off the rims. No biggie. |

Oh hey....that is a pretty good price. I would have done that, but to have 18" winters....WAY too much for me. And I just did not want to have the stock rims in the summer. I know, I know.......PICKY. |

Yeah, I don't mind the stock rims too much. And definitely can't afford to buy different ones right now anyways |

i usually have 2 sets of tires, but can't do 17" steelies on mine! they don't make them and even if they did, they probably wouldn't clear my brakes.  what i really want are some decent looking non-stock (or some other vehicle's nice looking stock 17's like the TC's) to put on in the summer. |

17's. i'd still want the same size so i can keep the stock tires. i'm too cheap to buy new rims AND tires!
