That is a good price though. If you want to get rid of them, let me know.  |
I don't think it would be too bad either. Although, I do tend to go skiing when the storms are the nastiest since I love to chase powder. But temps are normally in the 20's during the day and maybe down to 10 at night which isn't so bad. The problem I get with my Audi is packing snow in between the tire and the fenders since there is so little clearance. I have not seen snow up in the back of the rim at all.
I have a line on a decent set of 19" rims for $600 also locally. But my problem then becomes tires. I was looking at picking up the Blizzak LM-25 4x4 which is on clearance at TR. But the 19" size is now gone. They still have the 18" size for $169 each. So if I went with 19 that leaves either the Dunlop Grantek M3 or Pirelli Scorpion Ice without spending an arm and a leg. 18's are quite a bit cheaper overall.
