Are they better than Michelin X-Ice's? Those are what I run and seem to do fine here in ND but if Blizzaks are better then I might consider them.

have the X-ices on our company cars and i cant wait till the end of the day to get back into my own car with the better tires. Only thing i find better about the Michelin's are the price per tire.
installed my tokico struts and h tech springs now i have the notorious rattling in the rear right strut. i found out that its the metal can that is towards the top of the strut and sits above the rubber dust boot. does anyone know how to get the metal can to stay in place?
EDIT: so i didnt think the two washers trick would work but it did so all is good now

Driving to work in the snow storm yesterday I passed a tractor trailer and it sounded like my passenger rear window was down. Had an idea on what it was and confirmed today since it's dry out. Have a bigger hole in the wheel well where the jack is located. Patched a small one there a few months ago with some epoxy but guess I stretched it too thin and didn't clean the area up well enough.
I did it back in October.
haha Considering we've gotten a couple of snowstorms before Halloween the last couple of years, I wasn't taking any chances.
I liked the WS-50s I had and almost bought the WS-60s when it came time to replace them. But to help reduce cost I went with some Nokian Nordman 2's. So far I'm happy with them.

Been a while since I've posted.
Recently installed my 350mm Nardi Suede steering wheel.
Replaced all 4 of the factory speakers with some new Pioneer/Sony ones.
Got a new Subwoofer speaker
Replaced the old tokico springs/shocks with new shocks and megan springs.
In the process of selling the xxr wheels and picking up the 370z or R33 GTR wheels for the ride.
Gonna pick up a NRG 2.5 quick release
Maybe get some fender flares and spacers for the new wheel setup.

Wife is out of town, so I did 3 of 4 motor mounts tonight/this morning. Really easy and I did it in about 2 hours. I'm dreading the rear motor mount though, but I'll start on that tomorrow night.
color?
ive had them on my 14" steelies for 3 seasons now and they have treated me very well. especially for the price!
ok thanks!
