The Project Pad

Let's see what your rocking for winter.

Here's mine.... Some over spray because I was gonna get new tires. Shit happens and I'm gonna have to keep the rubber one more season. Kids like the Christmas car now

lol nice!

I will be rocking the Cayenne this winter. I need to fit winter tires ASAP.

Cause Land Bruiser...

Pretty much the same as any other day. I used to have studded snows, but sold those. Last year it didn't even snow at my house so I'm probably fine. Still have two extra sets of wheels that I've been meaning to put some snow and offroad tires on.

Well, I'll at least make this setup a little more winterized...picked up a set of Blizzaks tonight for dirt cheap. They'll get mounted on one of the spare sets of wheels I have for the car. I have chains too...which I bought because if you're towing anything in WA/OR/CA during the winter you must carry chains regardless of if it's 4WD/AWD or if you've got snow tires (bought my 968 in January a while back so I wanted to be prepared).

Looks about like this. As good as the Nokian WRg3s were all summer, they are surprisingly good in the cold and snow!



It was pretty cool, this morning a random guy in a V70R was videoing the 90 while we were headed north on I-25 B) Also, just crossed 130k on the way home, stuck behind a Merc from FL in the snow lol!!

Love those rims! OZ Superturismo, yes?

Thanks, they do look "right" even if they are not the craziest, lightest, multi-partiest ;-)

Have fun with it. Just make sure you have good tires on there. Snow tires would be best, but I had really good tread on a set of all seasons and had no problems.

So far it's great! Feels like there's no snow. The 200 came with new tires. I appreciate the advice tho!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST

I still think my Golf was a much better car in snow than the Quantum ever was. Much more controllable. You wouldn't catch me trying to pitch that pig sideways at 80mph on powder, but in the Golf the car was begging me to do such shenanigans. Come in to work with the brake smoking/steaming. Hatch glass covered in compressed snow from whatever aerodynamic effects happen at those speeds.

Now that's how you do winter in style.
