Lol it's the opposite man cheaper to just use what I already have. I wouldn't want steelies so buying a set of cheap wheels is more expensive.

you sure? why would you make such a statement when it will be 10 years before you buy another set. Things will be different by then. ;\)

They are both comparable. Some sets are identical in price ands will swing every so slightly either way between the two.

I wouldnt be surprised if they discussed pricing together.

The best winters I've personally used and driven on were Toyo winters, but expensive. Then the blizzaks, which I'm still on and then the Hankook's.

Didn't like the Michelin Alpine's at all & the Dunlops (Graspic & 3D's) were okay.

Still have to try some Nokian's, those are next on my list

Did you have new studless ice and snow blizzaks with the dual tread compound? I had the LM80 performance ones and they were shit on the ice. The WS70s were great on the ice, but only before wearing throug the first 50%

lm is a performance winter. what you lose in ice performance you gain in dry handling and feedback.

where the ws70 will be mushy and have worse dry performance. Its a compromise for any tire.

Simply Tire has a great road force balancing machine. Thats worth the extra $30 for me.

Never had a balance problem from tires23, and I think it's been 4 sets of tires.
Going with these guys anyway. The price ended up being the same as tires23, and they are close by so we will see!

Good experience with the guys at simply tire. Got my blizzaks on a spare set of jeep factory rims and ordered a set of rims/tires for my moms Ford Edge

New ws70's no LM's for me.

I still prefer my Toyo's, but so expensive to replace.

Winter wheels in full effect. I put some spacers on the rear so the stock wheels won't look so sunken in. Stock tires are 235s but the winters will be 245s

Front lip will come off in a few weeks and I'll Krown it.

Looks so different with the darker smaller wheels on it.

Why are you going to crown it when you will probably sell the car well within the corrosion warranty? I know bimmer has an 11 year corrosion perforation warranty, I'm guessing Lexus is the same?

Perforation warranty is ridiculous - you know how rusty a car has the be to rust a hole in it? Those are Mazda problems man.

I want the underside and all of the bolts and nuts to be protected. Makes it way easier to work on. Also I plan on keeping this one for awhile and add a sports car in the future or pass along to gf unit as her daily.

It's also only 100 bucks.
