I got the winter shoes on. I stayed with the factory size 245/45R20. I am very impressed with them and looking forward to testing them in snow this week.

I need to wash car and the lube off but it's cold as hell.

Looks great and mean! I too chose to keep the 20'' for the winter... The heck, I am paying for a car 12 months a year, why would I not have it looking nice all year round? I keep the winter tires for about 4 months.

I am running the exact same rims/tires for my winter set-up. I have not had a chance yet to run them in the snow, but the DSW's look like they will be just fine in the snow.

Cool deal, geswek :thumb:  Another notch in the belt for DSW's ;)

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Yep; like them a lot.

I was planning to go 255/45R20 but instead stuck with 245/45. Oh well, maybe next time.

My F1's were done; with 15k on them they wore out FAST.

Are you going to run them year round or switch out to a summer tire?

Year round; I don't race my car hard enough to need a true summer tyre.
