New Winter Shoes

**lumpy92** · 11-05-2009, 07:45 PM

Well, I ordered my snow tires and rims on Monday afternoon from Tire Rack and they showed up at work this afternoon... must say they are pretty efficient!

I ended up going with the Bridgestone Blizzak and the Sport Edition F-10 rims. Obviously not as nice as the stock OEM's, but I think they will serve the purpose for the next 4-5 months.

Anybody know a good place to get these installed. I know all they have to do is unbolt the old ones and bolt on the new ones (they are already balanced) but some places just take better car of their customers then others.... any recommendations are welcomed!

I'm sure there has to be someone close to you with a jack and a flat piece of garage that could help you. No special tools required just unbolt the old ones and bolt up the new ones.

Don't forget to give your factory wheels a really good clean and wax so that they are ready for use next spring.

I fully plan on giving the wheels a good cleaning and waxing..also going to see if I can get them refinished...need to find time to wax the winter ones before they go on as well.

Why not come to Cayuga on Saturday you can make a few passes and then we can swap your wheels over for you.

I'd love to...if only it was closer to me! I have plans for the early afternoon on Saturday, so that pretty much rules out the entire day!
Hope you guys have great weather!

c'mon over. just swapped the wheels on both cars this week so i'm in practice too. just make sure all the parts are there.

**lumpy92** · 11-05-2009, 10:31 PM

Yea, I have all the parts... just a straight swap.
Let me know when you've got time and I'll head over...
And at the least, let me grab you a case of beer... what's your fav?

If you're free Sunday afternoon, that would work great for me! Maybe around 2:00?
Could you use another $50 coupon?
