Pictures of my winter setup: Wheels - style 123, Tires - Vredestein Wintrac Extreme.


Easy wheels to keep clean, good choice for the winter.

Thanks.
I was also pleased with Vredestein's performance on dry and wet surface (no snow in PA so far). Very precise handling and cornering for winter tire.

I bought them earlier in the summer, $292 each. Still expensive though, but I liked their agressive Giugiaro design.
