How Many Wheels/Tires Do You NEED?

[low_psi]

I've been doing pretty good lately and have finally got to the point where I only have two sets of wheels and two sets of tires. When things were the "worst" I had 4 sets of wheels and 5 sets of tires. Lately I've been tempted to buy some 17x8s for the 235 R-comps and use the current track wheels for some more aggressive 225 street tires so that I don't have to change wheels at the track but can still have fun.

But where does the madness end? What's your situation?

 

[major error]

2 sets of stock wheels and 3 sets of tires....but I'm just getting started.

I have the Kumhos & Hoosiers on right now, and the Nokians are stacked in the garage. I'm not planning on getting that 3rd set of wheels until it's time to think about new summer tires.

It's not gonna happen now since I'm putting myself through college, but there's a future chance of a 4th set with wet radials for track days...

3 sets of wheels: stock, daily, snow
4 sets of tires: Falken Ziex (selling soon), Falken Azenis (current auto-x), Kumho V710s (next years auto-x), Hankook Winter iPike

We also have a full set of snows for my wife's car. I'll take a picture of the stack tonight, it's pretty funny.

I've cut back to two sets of wheels and tires

'stone re01r on 16" RPF1s for street
Kumho V710s on 15" Slipstreams for autox

Don't need winter wheels any more, that's what the Acura is for, yay!

Stock and FD wheels is all I have.
Worn out tires on the stock and old and hard on the FD.

Do you have a spare aircraft hanger laying around to store all those ^^^

Those actually all fit in the spare bedroom (except for the MSP wheels that I have in my office at work) If I had a spare aircraft hanger I would have a few extra cars stored in it or something.

I'm jonesing for either a wide set of 16s or another set of 17x7.5 for some wider street tires.

If you've never heard of Drag (which I hadn't either until i bought them) this is what they look like:
