You planning on cutting up vegetables with those rims?

 

YEP YEP... helps cut up the snow

 

wow thats the wrong size tire for that rim. If you wanted 215, then should have gone with 60 not 70.

 

Just because it is different makes it wrong???

The tires were on my 1994 Ford Thunderbird that had been sold, i still had the steelies/tires and I initially thought that they were the same bolt pattern since the mustang rims fit the max. NOPE, they don't the T-bird has the taurus 5x108mm bolt pattern, so the tires are from that car, and i got a deal on these rims on ebay $80 shipped. I think the alloys are a bit better than the steelies, but whatever....

Hey you got them cheap and they're only for winter, so thats great. Your speedo will be off, and you'll loose a good amount of power, but its only for winter so then I guess its okay

 

only 5% difference in speedo... power seems the same, maybe it is just my lead foot ??

Man, I think steelies look better than those things...

Whatever gets you around town safely works in my book.

We got hammered with about 4 inches of rain and a bunch of sleet today. I am sure glad I have my studded snow tires on. I saw several cars lose it on some of the hills while I was at work. No bad wrecks, but one guy mangled a rim on his 2wd pickup. I did some doughnuts in a church parking lot with the mail truck just for fun. I wish I had someone video tape it for me, that would have been funny.

 

Well, we just had 3 inches of snow the other day, and it just started to snow again.... very strange winter so far, last year we only had 24 inches total, this year we have had 36 already....
