Winter Tire Solved. Thanks Budd's

So it has happened. Finally have decided on a winter tire package and they are now installed. Go see the Kyle at Budd’s Subaru (Oakville) if you are still in the hunt. He did a great job setting me up with a great price and a really sharp looking package. 17″ ASA sports 7 spoke alloy wheel in silver ( I might have this painted to black or bronze, not sure) and Blizzaks 215/17/45 (or 50, can’t remember) 91V They look and drive great and now I cannot wait for some snow!!!

So I might have got something else for the car as well. Rally Armor urethane mud flaps. They look the part. So I am planning on running them through the winter and removing them in the summer. So that is my project either today or tomorrow. I want to have them on before the snow.

I will post pictures so you can all see the winter tire package, and I will write about the process of the flap install and show some pics as this might be a good winter mod for everybody. I think next spring (depending on the finances) springs and a lip might be on the wire.

    Just a heads up on the ASA wheels. I used them in the past for winter and the finish (clear coat?) pealed very quickly. I’m not sure if anything can be done about this or if it’s just the ones I had.

    Good luck!
