Default Just put my winter tires on

Just put the winter tires on the RSX-s yesterday. Two winters on them and they still look pretty good. (Dunlop M3 WinterSports)

Looks like I'll need a new set of Summer tires next spring, though. The wear bars are just about touching the outer surface of the tread. Oh well they don't owe me anything, got three long summers out of them. (mid Apr-mid Nov) that translates to two full years of driving. I might try out the Hankook Ventus R-S2 Z212. Couple of my friends used them this summer on their S2000's with some moderate track use, 4-5 track days.

I've got my Blizzaks ready to go in the garage. I bought a set of Avon Tech M500's this summer and I've been pretty impressed with them. No track time, but real good street tires (low noise, good ride and I can actually rotate them). I probably have 1 winter left on the Blizzaks but hopefully I've only got 1 winter left in my Honda so that works out beautifully.

I'm ordering snow tires to put on my stock rims and then getting some nicer rims and summer tires in the springtime. I feel like I'm pushing my luck with not having ordered the snows yet, but well, I haven't ordered the snows yet. h:

I'm most likely getting a set of Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 in 195/55-15.
