Changed my wheels/tires over to my winter set up today

Wanted to wait until December but temps are already in the 20's here, don't want to risk getting caught in a storm far from home

No more flying around corners with 11" wide Michelin Pilot tread to make the rear end stick...

I run Dunlop RFT M3 snows that worked really well last year. I would post a picture but they are 17" wheels and everyone would laugh at me

I don't think anyone would laugh. 17" is a reasonable choice for winter, I'm running 17" too .
I could take 18" though...

17" and "not so low" (eg 50's) profile winter tires makes perfect sense ... share a laugh when you drive by someone else left spinning in the slush
