Got my 20" snows ready to go.........

[Griza]

Before anyone posts about how stupid 20" snows are I just want to say that it is something I wanted to do stupid or not.
Since I had my stock 20's sitting in my basement and Pirelli makes 275/40/20 Scorpion Ice and Snow, I figured what the hell. I purchased 2 replica front Style 87's and mounted the snows on 4 front rims. I test fitted the stock front rim to see if it would work on the rear before the purchase and voila, it did. I live in NY and don't get buried in snow and if we do, I will either stay home or see if I can get stuck!! I hate going from chrome 20's to alloy 18's with balloon tires for 4-5 months of the year. I do go to VT to ski but still, 18's are overkill in my opinion. Yes, the potholes are of some concern but that is why you buy the Road Hazard program from TireRack. The rolling diameter going from 315/30/20 to 275/40/20 is .001% off, so there is no difference. All in all, I can't wait to try these things out and if they work just as well as the 18's, then I will be very happy with my decision. If they don't, well, I still have the 18's but I don't think I will have any problems.
They won't be going on for another month or so depending on weather but I will keep the board updated on how they do and if everything is fine, I am sure some of you will convert next winter.
Stay tuned..................
