Winter Mode - Who's ready?
It's a little early but Winter Mode is right around the corner. Time for that delicious pumpkin pie latte as I stand posing by my car on a busy Robson street Friday afternoon. Or... maybe not but it's time for Winter soon and I was in a desperate search for 17 BBS STi rims and a nice set of winter tires. I couldn't find what I was exactly looking for. So here's the kicker. My car had it's handbrake over tightened a few days ago and I ended up getting towed to Specialty Subaru. Well Specialty Subaru had a brand new, never mounted, 17" STi BBS rim set mounted on Hankook winter tires. So I bit the bullet. I bought them and got them mounted on the spot.
So I started texting the Slurrey Crew and I got a text message back from Amar. I am an idiot, yes I am I did not buy STi BBS rims, no no, instead without me even having a clue what I bought, I got 2007 STi limited edition Enkei rims. Now I feel like crap using them for Winter Mode. So... Who's READY for Winter Mode? Because I am and I can't wait. My car went in the body shop this morning for some repairs to my rear bumper. My aftermarket exhaust I had (T1R) melted a large hole on each side So... this is my rental car: I'm sorry SUBARU.

I used those same rims in gold for 2 winters their great. I wouldn't worry about the BBS vs enkei crap unless you find yourself running into curbs a lot.

You Subaru guys amuse me, I'm debating Duratrac's or Silent Armour's ,(Both have the snowflake symbol) in the 33" tall variety, not sure if I'll get them for my 17's or 18's. Picking up detailing supplies this weekend to get a good coat of wax done before winter.
I'll put this here.... http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2399145 |

Quadratrac2 is pretty amazing.
Silent armours are sweet, you don't really lose fuel mileage, and they're great in severe conditions. i had a 2008 GC Diesel with 32's, silent armours while I was living in Kamloops driving back and forth from van every weekend regardless of weather. I got a 2008 4runner now with a 3" lift and 32's yokohama geolander ATS. those are pretty good tires as well, but no snow flake. However I don't notice a difference in severe snow between the geolanders and silent armours. Geolanders are about 20% cheaper than the silent armors. |
