Has anyone who uses the Factory Snow tire/wheel set up have an issue???
Those are thinner 19's. Maybe they do not stick out as far?
Its seems most guys use the factory 20's and install monster snows on them that stick out as far as the summer tires.
Either way, I am taking my chances. i usually do not own a vehicle that long. I remember laughing at my buddy when he bought a new porsche turbo cab. he had it extensively 3M'ed. he kept telling me how the paint will look new when he removes it and so on. Then he sells the car in 5 months.
