Planning ahead

[Miller7204]

Just wondering what everyone runs for winter tires. I'm going to be running my avus's so the RC's won't get trashed. NY can have some harsh winters so I want to be prepared. I'm not looking for top of the line tires however.

16in. beetle steelies with snowtrakkers. this will be the 3rd winter i think running them. i will raise the car up a little, remove the side skirts and this year im mounting kc daylighters on the roof rack.

Sounds like a good plan. I'm just asking for tire recommendations however

check craigslist. they have good used tire prices. hopefully i dont need to run the rcs again this winter. the tires have metal showing from the weird camber wear, and theyre basically balled. looking for all seasons on craigslist.

If all goes well I will be in a 4x4 F-150 or a 4x4 jeep, with KC lights on the rear bumper cause yall can kiss my ass! lol

But yeah I'm hoping to get a 4x4 pickup or jeep by winter XD

Yea I'm thinking you have something broken/worn out back there I don't believe there should be that much camber on stock GLI suspension. Maybe post a pic on here and see what VWF has to say

[vwGLI]

lol yeah will do. probably will tomorrow.

Go with the jeep over the ford. Both break often but jeep parts are everywhere and usually an easy fix the F-150 motors suck ass especially when the spark plugs blow out of the head and they always like to be on the back 4 cyls. where they are extremely hard to reach.

Haha I'd probably do it. See if he'll take a trade for the avus's

[vwGLI]

i have CASHHHHHH. if u dont take em miller

[Miller7204]

Go for it. By the time shipping is calculated it'll probably be around the $400 range and then they'll need tires so they're yours if you want em.

I'm gonna stick it out and stay with the avus's and just throw some meaty tires on them.
