Ready for snow

Installed my winter gear yesterday!

It's a different look but I'm ready to rocket through.

Would have been about 1400 but I didn't want to deal with the TPMS warning all winter so I added those for about 250 more.

Look very nice. What kind of tire are they? I am thinking getting a set for winter too, they're essential if you live in upstate NY.

Thats the exact same wheel/ tire combo I just bought from tire rack as well! I opted to save the $$ and skip the tpms sensors though. I just put them on the car Friday evening. We'll see if the warning light drives me nuts or not. Might have to put a piece of black electrical tape over it so I'm not looking at it all winter!

Love those. $1400 for everything including the rims? How? Are those 18s or 19s? Where'd you buy them?

The Blizzak LM-60 are an excellent choice. I had those tires on my old car and they grip the ice and snow covered roads very well. This is my first full winter with the X so we'll see how the all seasons tires hold up. LOL

You're lucky! I'm normally the one stuck swapping out all of my siblings winter/summer wheel setups for their cars.
