Lowered on 20" rims with summer tires don't mix...
...with snow
I recently moved back to Colorado and I have been stuck twice in the last week. This was this morning:
I got stuck literally 15 feet from where I park at my office. A quick run over to the office to grab a shovel and I barely got unstuck.
Unfortunately I will be raising the car back up since the car drags on the snow and running Conti DWS 06 on the factory wheels moving forward.

We've been lucky here in Chicago-- very little snow so far this winter.
I've got the 19" Sport rims on my 2014. Even though I had under 10,000 miles on my car, I bought Continental DWS6's in October not wanting to go a second winter with the Goodyear RSA's.
Figures that I dropped all that money on tires and we'll probably end up with a mild winter... LOL

I drop off my car this morning at Discount. A hour later they are done. I go to pick up the car but they installed Comp 2 not Comp 2 A/S. I spoke to 3 reps at Discount including the one I ordered over the phone from and confirmed A/S with every one of them wtf? One of the reps even told me they should do good in the snow just to find out he was speaking about the Comp 2s (mind blown). Now the car sits at Discount waiting for Comp 2 A/S to be installed tomorrow.
I will say my 20" wheels are much heavier than the 18" wheels. It will be nice to have less unsprung weight back especially with these factory shocks.

Ok so after the last snow of over a foot and icy streets after the sun goes down, I have decided the BFGs just are not going to cut it.
MICHELIN® X-Ice® Xi3 are going on next week!

I have 20" rims and summer performance tires and I got the factory 18" wheels with Hankook Ws409 winter tires and I am also lowered on Eibach springs and I have never had any issues at all! I live in Michigan and granted this winter is a joke last years winter was pretty bad and where most cars were getting stuck I was playing around, by far the best winter tires I've ever owned! not cheap but you have to pay for greatness I guess.
