Jack_James is on a distinguished road
Installed my Nokian snow tires on my Kromag 9960 steel rims. Fitment was perfect for the rims, and ride is smooth. Checked tire pressure this morning and no drop, so looks like I remember how to work a tire machine

edit: speaking of CCV, mine also looks in great shape with no oil loss happening. Engine has 130,000km on it, runs strong. I use Quakerstate Defy 5w30 (great zinc and zddp content!) and 5oz of seafoam every oil change (reduces moisture build up, and helps clean varnish/emulsified oil residue, petroleum based).

Think I should look into the cold weather kit as well for safety though? It's winter time here now, and I'm only slightly concerned about it since there hasn't been any issues since the frequent oil changes (left film of oil in the valve cover breather tube after long drives before) now it's basically dry just feels oily. The seafoam really does its job well lol.
