Weak blizzard!!:laugh_ti:


Upstate would've shrugged that one off with a laugh! Pirelli "snow and ice" are the answer to your problem.

i had pirelli sottozero's

NEVER AGAIN worst winter tire ever


pirelli makes great summer compounds but they don't know jack when it comes to cold weather...

i always made it up to the ski hill in the rx-8 but when i had those stupid tires one year i couldn't make it up and had to toss them

Not the 240s. They are an excellent winter tire...

If it makes you guys feel better, there is no snow here in Florida, but it is a little cold out.

Everyone and their momma knows theres no better snow tire than the great Nokian Hakkapelitta.

2 feet of snow they got is not light by any means.


Way2evil I don't think it would rub, but why not get an extra set of wheels? This way if you accidentally curb them or get a scratch it's no big deal. I like having thicker sidewalls as it helps absorb the bumps a little better but it does make it handle different.

I understand that, just providing feedback for the LIGHT SNOW IN MARYLAND.

Wheels just left NJ. Should be here tomorrow. Now to find somewhere to put them on as my driveway is full of ice and snow.

I replaced my F1's with these, Yokohama Parada X Spec, 245/45/20

For winter or year round? How are they in the snow? And dry?

Weren't Paradas built for trucks?

 

[SterlingGraySHO]

Here in Missouri we do experience snow, sometimes alot like last year. So far it hasn't snowed yet. Since my PP came with F1's I opted to go with all season's. My '99 SHO had Dunlop SP Sports and was excellent on snow and ice. On dry and wet these Yokohamas are awesome handling and quiet. For ice and snow the jury's still out. If it does get nasty out I'll be sure and post up their performance. Oh and yes, they are light truck tires but the description also says. . ." The PARADA Spec-X is Yokohama Tire's Street/Sport Truck All-Season radial developed for performance pickups and SUVs, as well as modern muscle cars like the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum. The PARADA Spec-X is designed to combine impressive looks and confident handling with year-round traction in North America's wide range of weather conditions, including in light snow." I think they should have put the Ford Taurus SHO in there as a modern muscle car. For light truck tires they sure look good on my SHO.

Well there you go...

 

[way2evil]

Only pic I managed to take tonight, will get more in the AM

 

[way2evil]

W2E..... looks like you swapped out the bulbs in the outside mirror lamps for LED'S....

is that a correct observation? If so, what size are they if I may ask?

I thought you did yours already? They are size 168 (standard license plate bulb).

 

[way2evil]

No didn't get to it yet cuz I didn't want to go gut'n 'em out not knowing ahead of time what the bulbs were so I can order 'em up ahead of time.

But thanks now that I know, I'll be ordering the same one's I used in my license plate lights..... confirming are they the "festoon" type of bulb yes?

Woops thought you were asking the size of the license plate bulb. The size for the puddle lamps are 3022 festoons. These are the part from superbrightleds

3022-x4 LED Festoon bulb | $ 2.84 |
Cool White 3022-CW4 0.95

 

[way2evil]

Is 3022 the specific part number only under that company's site?

I ask cuz I'm wondering what millimeter siz it is, I may elect to get brighter ones possibly.

Yeah I bought the coping saw a couple of months back, along with the clear silicone type sealant, but never ordered the bulbs.

With it being winter, I didn't wanna gut 'em open and have the open hole in the mirror for any extended lnegth of time.

3022 is a universal bulb size. Google "sylvania bulb guide" to get every bulb size of your car. You dont buy them by millimeter size, you buy them by their number.
