Since its winter, I figured I would post some pics of my Winter Wheels and Tire setup. Wheels are Elbrus 105 (silver with machined face) wrapped with the brand new, just released for 2013 Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV in 255/55-18. I attached a couple of pictures after the first light snow of the season.
If you haven't read anything on these new snows, here is a link for info.

So far, these are the best snow tires I've ever owned. Have had Blizzak LM-25 4x4's, Hankook i-pikes and now these. Its not even fair driving on the snow and ice. Rarely does the anti-lock kick in...it just stops with no drama. Grip is incredible accelerating and turning as well. My summer use Michelin Lattitude HP Tours' are awesome, but as with any all-season tire, there is a compromise in every season. They are ok in light snow but once you have dedicated snow tires, you will never want to use anything but them in the snow.
