thanks for the bump @THOOPRA
have a couple of local enthusiast coming to look at the tires this weekend. hope someone will put them to good use this season!
Hi, Kind of depends on where you are. I'm on the west coast so generally much milder winters here. The temperature and the rain is more of a concern than any snowfall.
Have set of 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 performance winters on my factory wheels and find its a good balance between winter...

my 23 m/t pulls straight. no issues. however having swapped a full set of winters, it has...
thanks for your input. to be clear, i wasn't asking if the car needs an alignment from the factory. no one is disputing that.
