Trying to decide on what to do for winter. I think I will wait for the first snow to see how the OE Pilot all-seasons perform. Then see what's available (with all the other procrastinating knuckleheads). I'm also thinking of 19x8.5 TSVs with CrossClimate2s. Then I'd have to unload the stock wheels and tires. One wheel has an inch scratch and I'd keep the TPMS, so that really reduces their used value. Classic winter wheel/tire conundrum...

I'm still trying to figure out how they claim to have invented winter tires.. they were founded in 1988. We had to change to snow tires everly fall in the 1960s. I guess they mean some kind of all season tire.
