Damon,

Thanks for all your help putting together a complete set of winter tires, rims, and tire storage rack. I'll let you know how that work out next spring, my guess is that they will be perfect. Order Friday at 3:00 pm, at my house on Tuesday (cause Monday was a holiday).

Peace

Not in the least. I would worry more about letting it sit for 4 months....besides, it would just kill me to miss all that fun....Wash it once a week and enjoy it. BTW, it is one of the better handling cars in the snow - unless you are surfing on top of it....

Looking at this same setup for the winter. Have you got the new wheels on your car yet? Would love to see pics. What are your impression of the tires. Road noise, comfort, dry handling? I suppose at that price, you get what you get with the tires/.

Let us know.

Good luck this winter!

When you order online form Tire Rack, make sure you put DAMON's name on the
order form. (there is a place near the end of the form for it).
I ordered snow tires today for my wife's BMW 328 Xi

If for 996, Bridgestone will be releasing the new Blizzak LM-60 in 275/35 18 this year. Use with matching 225/40. They will work fine. I have them about 2-3 weeks away. Call to preorder as I bet they will go fast.

I got your order, thanks a bunch Gary!

He's right guys. My hat's in my hands asking you to not to forget to reference my name when ordering online from us. I get credit for the sale this way. Thanks a bunch! You can always use the banner-bar button to the right as well. I get automatic credit when that's used.

Fell free to call me anytime fellas, I'm always here to help.
