Thats not bad. I'll be running 255s as well. A little wide but it'll do.

I spend most of my winter in the mountains for snowboarding so I prefer having a dedicated snow tire. If I didn't, I would probably just run a nice all season. We simply don't get snow, but the temps do drop enough that summers year round aren't a great idea.
I miss snowboarding ; didn't get a chance to hit steven's pass last season.maybe this year if I get some good winter tires and get to Leavenworth as well for some hot cocoa and good old German music

This has me curious to what a set of BF Goodrich A/T or M/T would look on style 57s as a winter set up...

I like to fill the wheel wells a little more, too. I run 275/60/18 when it's not snowing, and I'm going to move from OEM size to 255/70/17 for this winter.

Blzzaks are noisy buggers.

Weather forecast said few inches of snow possible in the next few days, so I decided to put on the winter set. Love the look of the bigger tires. Drives very quiet compared to Blizzaks that I've had before. Now its time to refinish the Style 87's over the winter.
Tires are 245/70/17 Firestone WinterForce UV.
Excuse the really dirty car.
