What tires did you put on the wheels (performance or all season)?
Thanks! I went with the Vredestein Sessantas. Will be switching to snow shoes soon. :-(

Thanks, can they fit with rings or something?

Sorry for the hijack, but I figured Rastagurl answered your question, so it's OK.

Are you putting the snows on the 227Ms? I bought a set of 210s (18") for my winter set up.

Nah, I kept the original wheels which are 210s as well. I think even snows on those 227s would just give me a pretty expensive sled. :-)

They're whatever the dealer installed. There's nitrogen in the tyres, I'm not sure if there are specific valve stem caps because of that.

There is no technical reason for different valve caps because of nitrogen; however, typically they install valve caps with "N2" imprinted on them as a reminded to fill with Nitrogen, e.g., N2 Nitrogen Tire Valve Stem Cap
