If i was in the snow (thank god im not) I'd just run ****ty rims with some kick ass winter tires. And in the summer run good dry weather tires.

Trying to make a compromise imo is silly

 

Maybe because you have tires that are a fair amount larger than stock diameter. I've seen 205/55-15 tires and they look big compared to a more correct 205/50-15.

 

I wanted the 205/50-15s, but the dumb-ass shop installed the wrong ones for me. I didn't realize it right away and it was too late to have them change it. It looks ok, in my opinion, and gets rid of the fender gap until I get my new suspension.

It's 5mm greater than stock. The 50s are 5mm less than stock.

 

It's no fun driving around with Azenis on, especially when the roads get iced over because a freak snow storm comes barreling through your city!

 

Went to an auto x today with the S03's.

My opinion, they suck. I mean i'd love for them to be grippy but right now with their high tread blocks...I was sliding around like it was wet outside. Skated right through a hairpin on my first run out. I took it easier the next 2 runs but they still were super slick.

Stopping is much much much better than the RE370's were, you can just stomp on the brakes and it slows without locking up. That part is cool.

Otherwise I may have to try out some azenis sometime, but I'll need to get some new rims first.

Overall I've found the S03s to be subpar when it comes to driving highspeed and on the Autoxing.

When they are worn in alittle more and the tread blocks are worn down somemore maybe they will figure themselves out.
