Huh. Happens on mine every time. Could be that I go out of my way to drive in the loose stuff rather than in the tracks.

....never experienced it.
Well, I did the deed yesterday. I took off my summer rims. I don't have a garage so I have to do this stuff before things freeze up outside.
It took two months to get my new 20" Enkeis so I had to put them on for a couple of weeks and run them for the Fall Cruise. I put just over 2,000 kms on them in a couple weeks and loved them.
I put my OEM 18s with all seasons back on and still have to get my new Blizzaks for them.
Cleaning up my Enkeis before I wax them and put them away.

The FX with her winter rims on (after 3 coats of Wheelwax on them for protection)

I'm lovin these Enkeis, I hated to take them off. Had to post pics of them to share.

Question...
Do you find your rwd G is actually ok in the winter with snows on? I havent had a winter in the G yet and came from subarus and awd vws so its never been an issue. I'm about to buy winters, but was thinking I might as well just put the money into a beater for days when i can't drive my truck (wifes uses it for a couple days a week).
I'm talking Calgary/Edmonton winter weather, not those fake Vancouver and Toronto Winters.
Any insight appreciated.

For sure, I think I see a few water spots on those Enkeis from the tears, LOL!

I plan on installing my winter setup this weekend. Hopefully the white stuff won't come for quite some time yet, but gotta be prepared for it just in case.
