Hi all,

Even though winter is a way off, I'm already thinking about winter tires.

I currently have the Carrera S II wheels on my car with performance tires. I really love the Turbo wheels though and was thinking of keeping two sets of wheels, one for summer (Turbos), one for winter (S II).

I'm thinking of taking the tires off the S II wheels and putting them on a new set of Turbo wheels, then, putting whatever winter tires O buy on the S II wheels.

Is this common practice? Does any of this make sense?

 

Its finally warm and stopped raining for me to get serious about removing my winter tires. (That and I was lazy this spring).

I purchased extra wheels and winter tires and do exactly that. In early November the summer tires come off and the winter tires go on, then in the spring (march-june) they swap again. When I swap I wash the rims well and put them away. Works great.

But then I've got snowfall in the winters and serious hills and inclines and a lack of slow removal to deal with.

 

common practice is to use 18" wheels for winter tires and put on 235/265 R18 PA2 michelins. speaking of which - I have a set with about of 80% of tread left, if you interested - let me know. I would get cheap 18" OZ allegeritas for winter set and called it a day.
