Got my Blizzaks installed on 16" rims from Tire Rack and I'm ready for the snow.

After much debate and doing some research, I decided to go with Nokian WR's instead of the blizzaks.

The difference is actually quite big. Not only do the nokian's handle better, but they last far longer on dry pavement or warmer weather than the blizzaks do. You pay a bit more but it's well worth it.

by the way johnny, happy birthday.

I've always been curious about these winter tires for the S, but I was told that they don't come in our sizes. Are these the "Hakkapallitas" and what sizes did you end up with?

Thomas you don't need a block heater as it doesn't get "Xviper" cold down here

1) Is that why a car gets vandalized? I would have thought it was because of the driver.

3) Awesome pic.
Nothing wrong with the driver Woodson, just jealous a$$holes out there. This was not in a bad area of town either. It was at the Milwaukee yacht club (went to see a friends band play) and my car was not the only one vandalized there. The S2 is a flashy car, and people (young, less fortunate people) to get jealous when they see something like that.

Its not like I was parked in 2 spots or out by my self either. Just parked amidst other cars.

Thanks!!! Yes, it was quite eventful...I will have to tell you about it sometime. Hey, did you get your scratches fixed yet?

Another prime example of vandalism not relating to the driver....just shear jealousy and idiocy!

F-ing people....just get on my nerves sometimes!
