Thanks for the advice. Oh, and I definitely have room to store tires during the summer (in garage, shed, or even heated storage room in my basement). Is there anything I need to worry about when storing tires (can they go bad - any preventative mantenance necessary on a tire just sitting...

Quick question for all you gearheads out there. I have a 2008 speed3, and have questions on tires/rims. I live in Cincinnati where we do have some snow during the winter. I pretty much parked my speed3 this winter when there was any snow on the roads because I have the stock tires on. I'm...

what kind of rims are those? They look awesome!
