So this past snow i was screwed. Getting stuck, not being able to get out of my subdivision. I know, I know, I need all season tires, and I am looking into some as we speak. Others have approched me about having 2 sets of rims. 1 for winter and winter tires and 1 for the spring/summer/fall with summer tires. I was looking at getting new rims, 17's or 18's, but not this soon.

Should I just get the new rims and get good all season tires OR get winter tires on the stock rims I have now and then get new tires and rims when spring hits? Does wheel image in st. ann still give us a discount?

 

Yes... Paul will work with you. Just let him know you are part of the group

 

Personally, if you have the option of NOT driving the S2000, that would be my first pick. But if it's your only car, then I would have two sets of tires so you don't have to mess with installing, uninstalling, dismounting, mounting and balancing your tires 2 times a year.

do you know if he has a web site? i tried looking for wheel image but i cannot find a website. what do you think about something like these on the car

 

See the For Sale Thread: I have a set of AP1 rims & All Season tires ready to go!

Winter tires are going to cost a fair amount for 2-3mths of use / year plus the issues as highlighted by Keith...

This way, once we're out of Winter weather & you have money saved for new rims, you'd have a spare set of rims to sell & put towards new rims/tires as you choose.

They're waiting for you

 

how much tread is left? knicks on the rims? then i guess i could sell my stock rims once i have money saved up for the rims and tires that i need. but all seasons are going to be needed esp since snow once again is going to fall tonight and tomorrow.

 

It's in the For Sale post, but I'll post again in the interest of making a sale The rears are new, never used. The fronts have > 50% tread life left... (please see For Sale Thread for tire details)

The rims are in good to v.good condition, w/ one having some kerb rash, but otherwise all good to go, ready to put on your car

To answer your next question: I can take some pics tonight & post, PM, &/or e-mail...

 

cool thanks. you said 600 right? suggestions for my rims????? i guess i could try to sell. dont know what i would do with 2 sets of stock rims

 

You could keep them... have a dedicated set of wheels/tires for winter and a another for summer. That way you wouldn't have to worry about having tires dismounted/mounted and balanced when the seasons change. Just swap wheels.

As for your original question, it's hard to say. Spring is (supposed to be) right around the corner.
