          Do you have 15" Euro basketweaves?

            Sure it is, especially on exit ramps.

            Honestly though, tomorrow i'm going to a junkyard and picking up some bottle caps and putting winter tires on em. I just hope the wheels are perfectly round.

              Yeah, no doubt. I am waiting on this guy to send me some stock weaves so I can put my Blizzak's on. Hopefully, I won't need to get a running start just to get up the driveway anymore...

                  So you're offering to trade your 14" (not 14', I hope) OEM basketweaves STRAIGHT UP for my 16" Racing Dynamics? Wow, that's very tempting. I'll get back to you on that.

                  Don't hold your breath, though.

                    I recently got some Nokian snows on my 14" basketweaves. I like the fact that I can get out of my driveway easily now.
                    Problem with low car + steep driveway + snow is that, you need to go slow to avoid scraping, but at the same time, need some momentum to get out if you have really shitty bald tires and w/o lsd.

                    It's only snowed once since I got these tires though. Considering this is Vancouver, I probably won't be faced with snow that many more times. Oh well, I heard these tires are good on ice too.

                      I had Nokian Hakka's on my last car. Those tires rock on snow and ice. They're too aggressive for around here, but up in Canada, they'd be a good choice.

                        At least you have a snow-ready ride height already :)

                          Yeah, shuddap! :finger:

                          Once spring rolls around, I'll look into GC/Koni setup. Till then, I'm rockin' the 4x4 stance. :nice:

                            I'm just raising hell, I wouldn't want a lowered car in snow.

                              Oh, I know. I'll be the first to make fun of myself for the rally-like ride height of my car. :D And one of the reasons I'm looking into a GC is to raise it back up during winters.
