I'm meeting RedDevil around 8-830 at or around his apt. You might want to send him an email and discuss that with him and get all the times and such set up.

devildog1679

There no way I will get up at 4:30am to be ther by 7am. To much of a drive and way to early. last thing anyone needs is me falling asleep at the wheel on the track

I posted this on another thread but I wanted to get your guys take on it as well.

I have been doing some thread searches on the best winter tires for the 8. So far I see good reviews on the Bridgestone Blizzak tires LM-22(17's), WS-50(17's) and LM-25(18's). Do all you agree? Also I heard that 215 are better than 225. What are your thoughts? The price's I was quated are was as follows: LM-25 $1,320, LM-22 $1,130, WS-50(225) $1,030, WS-50(215) $930.

i personally use kuhmo all seasons in an upsized sizewall not dedicated snow tires. However here we will get a day or 2 of snow and then it will just be cold and crappy for a week after that before it snows again. And i would absolutely kill snow tires driving on dry pavement that much between snows. But obviously summer tires wont get the job done in the sub-freezing temps or the 2 days of snow we get either.

If you live and work in Madison, I'm sure they clear the snow good and promply. You may get by with all season tires. I live just off a major state highway here so that is what I use (Pirelli PZero Nero M&S). I also bought wider/lower profile tires than stock. This was a mistake. Stay as close to stock as possible, so you can cut through the snow/slush better.

reminds me of why an old beatle was good on the snow....all the weight on the drive axle and bicycle tires.

devildog1679

Yea it was for the tires and wheels. I guess I'll go with what the dealership has since they won't charge me shiiping or instalation. I think they said they carry the LM-22
