nice... I still have to mount the tires on my wheels but they aren't going on for a little while. Driving around on a thin sidewalls when it's freezing cold makes if feel like the tires are rocks. I don't wanna damage my rims.

^^^ really.... does weather affect the tires? like it becomes softer warm? cuz i can feel a big difference when its cold and warm. usually the ride feels alot rougher when cold out.

Yes, rubber gets hard in the cold, and softer when warm.

still too cold here so that would make the tires rather useless. There's too much salt on the roads and with my weekend trips to Brantford it's probably not a good idea.................oh, did I mention I don't have any summer wheels yet...lol.

$40 bux for spline drive lugs are good. I ordered a set of Muteki's which sell here in Canada for $100.

The rims look good, but I hope you have something else to drive, because I highly doubt we've seen the last of the snow. Also remember that those tires won't be very sticky (even in dry conditions) when its still this cold out.

Not to mention these couple weeks they will be doing massive repairs on the roads. Covering pot holes that surfaced throughout the weird winter we had.

Good point Boss

There are some big potholes that need to be filled on my daily drive before I go to my summer rims.

^^ you'll probably need tuner lugs.... and it's safer to have tuners then the OEM lugs that anyone can jack.

As long as you have any type of tuner lug... it should fit. Depth isn't generally the problem... width is.
