            DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT run with those tires in the snow. Anything that wide will act like a ski instead of a tire. I have personal experience running with Bullitts and 255/50/17's in the snow and it was incredibly dangerous. I slid through more than one stop light over the course of one winter and it was only thanks to other people paying attention that I never got t-boned or hit anyone else. I did go off the highway and about 75 feet into the woods because of those tires at one point. I had to call a wrecker and have him pull my car out, and his cables almost didn't make it from up on the highway. DO NOT use those in anything more than very light snow such as what's in your pictures of the wheels. I will NEVER run with such wide tires in the winter EVER again because of my experiences and I highly recommend you don't either.

              You don't have a trak lok, how'd you get both tires to spin?

                They will strictly be summer wheels and tires, as my current wheel and tire setup is strictly for winter.

                  YES!!!

                  This weekend I may be bringing my car to the body shop to fix the little piece of the quarter panel that was crunched with the door in the accident that happened over two years ago. I "may" be going because it is being done through a friend of my dads so we will see if he is free to take on the brown blob.

                          Yea, this should be interesting. Saturday i am gonna go to the shop and have the entire car worked over by a couple of people and hopefully have enough time to get the entire thing primed in that one day. I am off Fridays and come home early Thursdays so that gives me plenty of time to disassemble everything i need to to make sure the body work and primer is done and shot where it needs to be.
