I definitely need snow tires, it took me 35 mins to drive 5 miles after work today!! :mad: Gotta baby the MSP all the time in the snow, damn near stalling her to keep going without sliding sideways.
We have 7 inches here in Redford. I know cause I shoveled that shiite when I got home.

Pretty good, lows of about 35, highs of mid 50's to low 60's.
Myrtle might be alittle cooler than that, but not by much, I only live about 30 minutes away from MB, on the NC coast.

I had a blast last night. We tackled 3 major lots. The last one was the best. Behind the buildings it was set up for a little drift course. We got over 1/2 of footage. I have to wait for somebody to make a vid of it. The car was great at throwing snow in the air. I still have a ton of snow/ice packed in the wheels
wheels/tires
I sent this PM to two people who had the wheel/tire set i believe I'm looking for, but i thought I'd throw it here as well for a possibly quicker response as I do need to make a purchase either soon, or wait til next winter. I had to take the bus to work/class this morning, so needless to say, I need new tires/wheels. Here's the PM I sent:
What wheels/tires do you have for the winter? I found out this morning how much fun it really is in the snow lol, and realized that I need to go out and get some winter wheels/tires for my car. What kind do you have on your car, and how much did it run, approx.?
It was in reference to mazdamp3 and... uhm, the second post in this thread. Anyone know?

Go to tirerack.com select the winter tires you want, and print off the prices. Now take that to Belle Tire and have them match the prices. I have 22k on the stock tires, and they did fine last night. Snow tires would have been better, but the stockers are managable.

Unfortunately, none of the Belle Tire's near me match internet prices... So, I went ahead and bought some from tirerack.com anyway... 15" steelies w/ W50 Blizzaks. I'm sending them via UPS ground, from South Bend, which should take 2 days at most. Then I can have fun in the snow too! Hooray!

How much did you end up paying? I have been searching high and low and the best price I could find was 16" steelies w/ Michelin Artic Alpins for $ 881.00 at Belle Tire. :mad:

Hook a brother up!!!!!!

I got brand new 15" steelies and w50 blizzaks for $529 out the door, already mounted and balanced, and w/ 20 lugnuts included. Goto tirerack.com and then pick out the model of car, and then, from that screen, click the "winter tires" link at the top. that'll allow you to pick the 15's. Now, I could have taken the time and effort and headed to a junk yard and found some random 15's that would have fit my car, but I didn't have the time, nor transportation.. hell I had to take a bus to work this morning! They should be here by tomorrow hopefully, so I'll take 20 minutes and put them on, and then take 'la punta' out for a spin.
Cheap? Not in comparison to other routes I could have taken to find tires/wheels, but cheaper than Belle Tire and whatnot? YES. Especially since they already mount/balance them.

I have to thank Chris for the bigtime hookup on this one, I got 15" steelies and BFG T/A All Seasons siped for extra grab for a great price!!! Thanks brother! Now I won't get stuck on my own street anymore. (loser) I tested them on the way home and these tires rock compared to the stockers in the snow.
