last winter was my first winter in it, and i found some 14 steeles with winters on em and used those...its got such a light rear end so if your good you can get some decent slides around turn and just floor it outa them :lol:

make sure you practice in a parkin lot or something before you pull stunts like that, and never do it if there are other drivers on the road :x

some kid in my town tryin to be cool had a bunch of people hop in his jetta so he could f--- around... (rumor has it, he was racin) and he zoomed right off the road at 100... real cool :evil:

anyway... :roll: im lookin to buy some winters on the gs rims, is that what you've got?

ive got balding 195/50 15 rubber...would 195/70 15 winters fit? I think it would rub on the spring guard thing right?

Lotsa spinning if you have a ZE :)

Whatever you drive, snow tires make a HUGE difference, I swear by them. When i bought my Mx-3, it came with a set of snow's, I took then of early the first year and we got more snow, I couldn't believe the difference.

I'm driving around on 195,60R15 Nokian Tyres. Still waiting for the snow to arive, but it has been some cold mornings here and the handbrake has been more on than off when driving around on parkinglots :P

This is why I'm glad I live where I live. I never have to buy snow tires! :)
