Default Show us your winter mode!

Winter is upon us (especially us in the north) so lets see what type of winter modes you guys have out there

my personal winter mode:

19x9, 19x10.5 IForged Senekas
265/35R19 Bridgestone Blizzak LM25
245/35R19 Dunlop Wintersport 3D

one has a matte black lip, the other is polished steel. just trying to figure out which I prefer.

(and when the going gets really rough my Infiniti FX45 on Blizzak's)

Yikes! Just the thought of driving my Obsidian IS-F with polished Volks through the snow, ice and salt makes me cringe. It snows (to the point of sticking) where I am maybe once every 2-3 years, and salt gets put down maybe once a year if that. I'm not changing my set up at all. If I lived somewhere with serious winter weather, I'd definitely buy a beater SUV or truck.

Only when it snows and there's salt on the roads, Lexi sits underneath a 5-layer waterproof cover. I would take a pic since we just had a snowfall in NY this week...but it's already melted (loving the bi-polar weather), and we're expecting 60°F temps this weekend. My 98 Integra gets daily driven. FWIW here are the specs for my tires..Nankang XR-611 All-season tires 205/60/14 all around
