Anybody have a cheap set of 14" steelies or bcaps for winter tires?

[Savagefurai]

I picked up a set of studded tires but the bolt pattern is five lug...

why do people in Portland/Vancouver insist on studded snows? Being a CO boy, this baffles me.

The worst is seeing subaru drivers with studs. Idiots.

Do you want savage, unless someone can magically change the silly minds of 95% of the people here to not use snow tires till its fucking winter it doesnt matter.

Seriously people, why the fuck do you need snow tires, you dont even fucking go to work if there is a forecast of snow anyway.

This. Fuck people that run them from November 1-April 1, also. No wonder the roads are shit around here.

Fun fact of the day, people in Colorado spend a considerable amount of time in the mountains and usually don't run studded snows.

Yea Coming from the midwest this nov1-april1 studded snow tires shit is stupid, We didnt even use AT tires...

I was just discussing this with my girl the other day... why do people in the PNW forget how to drive in wet weather, let alone snow...?

I've only ever felt the need for studs once while in anacortes when we had record snowfall that began to melt then froze over again creating an ice sheet over every road surface. Haven't used studs since and haven't even used snow tires. Unless it's iced over I still just roll around on summer tires and keep my wits about me. But I enjoy driving in snow. Even in my slammed Honda on 17's and sport tires I had no real problems going thru the pass over mt.Hood during a blizzard.

I was born and raised in a part of CA that NEVER snows, and I have NEVER driven in snow before I moved to Seattle. Ive never been stranded and Ive never owned studded tires OR chains...
