RotahZ were bolted on yesterday. Feels good to drive down a dirt road and not have to worry about chipping the finish on a wheel now. All ass end shots for some reason… 1. ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2582/4010091830_8cea9faba4_o.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2582/4010091830_8cea9faba4_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2427/4010093640_08253641ec_o.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2427/4010093640_08253641ec_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3438/4009327723_8451901c4b_o.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3438/4009327723_8451901c4b_o.jpg) 1. ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2646/4009330129_e230df1b4f_o.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2646/4009330129_e230df1b4f_o.jpg) ---

Cool shots as usual. I don’t plan on installing my snows until the first major snowfall hits the region. :lol ---

If it’s anything like the last couple of years we won’t be putting our snows on until February. :lol Although I have a feeling old man winter is going to hit much sooner this year… ---

I hope we get hammered with snow this year. Snow flakes = $$$. and I’m not using snow tires, 3rd year without them now! ---

I only have them because I got them cheap (Blizzak WS-50’s). When they wear out after this season I will probably get another set because they really do help, especially on ice. I also will be buying a season pass to some mountain this year, so I’ll be doing a shitload of driving in the white SHIT. ---

I thought about it, but tires are cheaper for 17" wheels, I can get a narrower tread width (225/50-17), thicker sidewall, and it gives me an excuse to buy a set of wheels. :lol > [@New Music?

Snow + awd = fun. Yes. I love going to that ski area late at night when the roads are covered. I got stuck in a snowbank last year, good thing my friends were there to push me out. ---
