Winter Tire Age Limits

[Core Shot]

Tire rack with rims is a no brainer.

Plus. You mentioned the low profile factor. Smaller rims in snow season makes sense.
Plus if your rims are nice, mounting and remounting is wear and tear on the rim. I hate it.
Plus. If you have wider sport tires you can get narrower snows when you get the smaller rims.

Not to mention you can change your own tires now.

Nice. They’ve grown on me more and more. I’ll post a pic when the center cap stickers come in.

Wintracs will be a good tire for you.

I had an old set of Hankook iPikes. 9 years old. Hadn't used them in several years. Had stored them in a cool garage for several years. Put them on the vehicle last winter and they did just enough to keep me on the road. Performed like an AS tire than a winter. However, when spring came with the rain, the rubber was like a hockey puck, and they were like ice skates on the wet.
