I like winter, and snow driving, and steelies. You should take the wheel covers off.

My 175/70R14 Michelin X-Ices are just sitting there on the shelf still. Probably about time to mount them, eh?

Maybe I should snap a pic of mine for the **** of it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grin.gif)
I was looking at Gislaved's before, but could not find any...
They used to be their own entity from Sweden but now a part of Continental tyre.
My friend in Sweden always recommend them..
But I always bugged him us Finns can do everything better, ask Porsche about the quality coming out of the Valmet plant in Finland (IMG:style_emoticons/default/460.gif)
