new winter shoes - 4.6is

I test fit my new winter shoes today. All looked good and so I am ready for ski season. All we need now is some damn snow....

Wheels are 19x8.5" ADR with 40mm offset.

Tires are Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snows in a 265-50-19 size. I will most likely just run them all winter since this is not my daily driver so I don't put too many miles on her. Altough I have been logging more miles than I expected to lately because as much as I love my daily driver S4, I like this 4.6is quite a bit too...







here is a side by side with the 315 Yoko summer rear tire

















I debated between 18" and 19" and I'm really glad I jumped on this set of 19's. I think they look a lot better than 18's would on a 4.6is. And I also was debating between 255-50 and 265-50 tire size and ended up deciding on the bigger ones. I think they look nice on the 4.6is and the slightly wider tire will work better in the dry, which will end up being a good % of my use. The 265-50 are .5" taller than stock, which will also give me that extra 1/4" of ground clearance. haha
