yup 19 inch wheels with 19 inches summer tires. 265 wide rear, and 245 front. I have winter tires/wheels that I bought but with travel schedule and supercharger work, haven't had time

So after 20 min of scraping and cleaning...

Then I realized that the plow had plowed the snow in on the rear end. Well I don't have a shovel (I am from CA here on a short time), so had to go back in the house, put sneakers on, and "kick" snow around to make a "path" for the wheels/tires to go through hopefully without sliding too much

Wow you guys got slammed - I hear Dallas a few days ago was under ice. Ryan - even under a blanket of the white stuff yours looks fine

Of course Pure has to rub it in from SoCal

All we got so far in Houston was flurries but no accumulation.
