Summer Rims and Tires
Who here is getting anxiety to put on their summer rims and tires on? 
I am for sure. I can't stand taking corners so slow! Also my winter tires only have a Q speed rating.. so I'm only able to go 160 km/h (not saying I speed or anything)! I don't! Really!
I'm thinking late March as a date to put them on. How about you guys?

Rep Power: 0 April fools day for me. I'm riding my stock 1.7EL rims with winter tires. Haven't bought my summer 17"s yet - still shopping around for the best price. Looking at Konig Heliums with Kumho rubber.

Rep Power: 0 I ride on stock 02 LX Sport rims for my Michelin Arctic Alpins.
My summer tires are going on in March. I'm getting anxious. I'm thinking mid march because I remember last year I put them on like late February.. and suddenly in early March.. there was a HUGE snow storm and to top it off.. there was freezing rain after that. Remember that? It was an ice field out there.
My car was on summer tires and actually slid down my driveway to the street because the summer tires can't grip any snow at all
I couldn't even move the car back up the driveway.. tires spinning and all. I had to change my tires on the road (back to Winter tires.. brought them back up from the moth ***** in the basement).

so sad, i actually had to bus out to toronto and leave my car in waterloo...
well, i'm sure it was a smarter move since the tires won't do me any good on ice!!
so i'm going to look towards april from now on...
Yes, it's an Acura EL

OK, all of you admit it!
I open my closet and look at my rims every night, just waiting for the day I can pop them back on. Come on, I know some of you guys do too.
Would I sound like an obsessed freak if I admitted that I buff them with a little wax then add a layer of tire shine every week? Cause..um...hmmm...no way out of this one....hmm...

rims ain't cheap(at least not the good ones), and if you worked hard and bought them there's no reason why you shouldn't admire them.
