Tirerack.
--
Prepare for some pics and info that may shock and amaze you.

First a group shot.




Now the comparison.


Note the Blizzack cannot stand on it's own.



I'm not really worried about rubbing at this point.

THEY WEIGH THE SAME.

ZOMG.

I figure I traded a pretty light tire for a heavy duty steel radial-ridden thing.

What can you do I guess.

Took a pic of my exhaust while I had it up. You can see the new resonator where it is not supposed to be, and where the old one was originally removed and where I wanted this one to be put. Oh well. I'll throw another one in the factory spot later.

We're not lookin' too bad, but we could use a bath.




Now I'm gonna go for a test run. 8)

The rear right tire is lightly rubbing on the outside on mild bumps at low speed.

Time for new struts. :/

I think you can actually see in those pictures it is a little lower than the left.

Thanks. I think the Kazeras would look better, but these were a better choice.

Just a little more pic whorage.
Went through the cheap wash before I came home.

I put a little distance on the tires. They were very loud at first but calmed down after a couple miles. Handling and response is vastly improved, though it was damp today so I'm not sure about traction. The front wheels slipped a little a few times. Steering is a slight touch heavier. I was able to avoid scraping the rear right wheel until I made it back to my neighborhood. I can feel a slight lean in that direction though. Struts are now on my list of important things.
