Just got these a couple days back: Toyo Celsius tires are designed for regions like New England, and I've had a very positive experience so far. The have three main features I like: 1. Asymmetrical Tread - They wont get stuck in snow as easily 2. Varying Sipe Density - There are more sipes...

Hey there, This is my first winter driving a front-wheel drive vehicle. All of my Lexus vehicles were rear-wheel drive, which meant brand and size were crucial to holding the road. I know that FWD cars do have better handling in poor weather, but need some input before I make my winter tire...

I'm the happy owner of a new 2019 SX Turbo, she's a peppy little thing. The AC and ventilated seats are freaking awesome; it's so hot here in Texas. I'm 6ft with a short torso and really long legs so this car fits me so well; their is so much leg room. I was looking at the VW Passat too...

Hi all, I'm looking at picking up a used wheel and tire combo locally. I found someone selling a 235, 70, 16 set in decent condition. I'm curious to know if this is too wide for good snow traction or not? The set came off of a 2012 Santa Fe I believe. I like the combo because the tread is...

Yo, I'm being cheap until I can buy the 19" wheels I want for my 2018 EX, I want to plasti-dip my stock 17" alloys and brake calipers. I was thinking of using the "=Luxury Metal "Selenite Gray Metallic" plasti-dip color paired with the "Flex Blue" color for the calipers. Think it would...

I did something I thought I would never do, after 45 years of owning and riding a BIKE I said Goodby because of medical reasons and sold my Bike, it sucks that your body is getting older and your brain is on fire like a 18 year old............. here's snow white..................... Snow White...

Car actually jerks me back and forth in the seat when it encounters snow. Very Weird! Anyone else having this problem? My 2011 was just fine in snow, not so with 2013.

I live in NY I own a 2016. I'm wondering if and how well these puppies hold up to snow. Has anyone gotten winter tires and seen better results or do the stocks stick nicely?

Hi all, we bought a 2016 optima ex with the snow white pearl paint. Ok when we took delivery my dealer said it wasnt waxed. When you get right down on it that pearl looks really pretty. When you stand back that finish looks really dull. So is that normal and i just need it waxed? Do these...

Have to say my wife was been saying all winter long the Optima doesn't drive well in the snow. I took it out my self when we had 1/2 inch of snow. Have to say it was horrible. The car only has 13K for miles and the tires look like new. Its slides when I hit the brakes. When you hit the gas...

Just got a new '15 with the premium tech package. First Kia. Not sure how it will hold up, but figured I'd give it a chance. I think it's a **** good looking car with a lot of features for the price. Would like to see some other white optimas and see what mods y'all have done. Not big on...

Is anyone running 17" inch wheels with snow tires on their SXL?

So i ordered 17" Rage wheels with General Arctic Altimax Studded tires, i opted out of the tpms sensors because they were charging an arm and leg for them. my question is when spring comes around and i put my OEM wheels with the sensors how do i program the tpms sensors for the car to recognize...

hello all! just wanted all your opinion on the best way to get my brake calipers red for good. Ive used the dupli-color kit and the color came off after 1 season of snow and salt(upstate ny). What do I do now?

Hey guys- This will be my first 'real' picture post (besides my new member intro). Picked up a 2014 Snow White Pearl SXL a few weeks ago and dripped the wheels last weekend. Turned out pretty well! Next up will be 15% tint and installation of some Osram 5500K D1S CBIs that I purchased but...

I've replaced wheels before from one side to the other, but never put on new wheels. I got some 17 inch Moda EB1 w/ snow tires. I noticed at home that the tires are different sizes. Two are 225/55/17 and two are 225/50/17. Also, the center bore is a bit larger. Overall size with the tire...
