These are recent photos?! Aren't you like the same latitude? Damn, everything's so lush and green. Everything here is dead for winter. Car looks great, by the way.

Show an image close up with the wheel turned far to one side so we can see the tread.

I'll take some tread pictures tomorrow while I've got daylight. I actually thought about that right before I came to work. . . all the shots I took today were with wheels straight.
Here's a preview, though:

If he lives near Laurel, then he lives on the Western side of Washington. They don't get snow over there, they live in a rainforest that keeps everthing nice and green all year. The evergreen state gets its name from the western side, not the eastern side.
Generally speaking of course

I thought the rainforest was in Oregon. Neat. I'm driving up there to see it as part of the celebration when I finally get my car done.

we'll have to have a meet. Rainforest is all washington i believe.

Totally. . . . a meet will be in order!
Technically, the only real rainforests are on the Olympic Peninsula. Not a bad place for a cruise, but it's a decent amount of driving for one day.

I'd like to go for a walk in them anyway. But don't hold your breath - unless this new round of query letters nets me an agent and an even more miraculous publishing of my first book with a nice advance, this unemployed guy's going to be movin' slow for a while (a V8 Mountaineer beat me the other day
).

Damn Art, that's a pretty a pretty bad ass winter setup!
You already have a bad ass summer setup too with the Prodrives. What did you do with the stock BBS 17"s ? I would have thought you'd use them in winter

Those look beefy! How is the sidewall flex?

looks like your tires still have hair

They are quite beefy. . . the sidewall flex isn't bad at all. Granted the walls aren't as stiff as my Paradas, they're very good for a winter tire. Then again, they ARE the Z-rated Blizzaks.
Indeed, Laurel. . . a little bit of hair left, still.
