those look like they have some damn good traction for snow. Let us know how they work!

Sweet, I've got a set that's almost that beefy with studs and I rocked them on my 90 L wagon a couple winters ago and they owned. I got it up to 80mph in the snow with no traction loss. You could floor it from a dead stop and it would pretty much take right off.

They are used, but I have seven, if I buy one more I have two sets. 8)

Anyhow, I had the tires lying around, wasn't sure what rims I was going to put them on. I had my old forester wheels with the stock tall michelin tires, and nobody wanted to buy them. So I mounted the rally tires and called it a day. I think they will look sharp and give me some traction this winter.

I have them mounted on the car, I need to get a pic, and get the coolant tank finished up so I can take her for a drive.

I read on the Forester forums that those wheels aren't very sturdy. But I guess cheaper to replace than alloys right?

I have read that, but I am not getting crazy with them for winter tires/wheels. My factory turbo wheels are fugly, I need a sandblaster.
