That terrible time of year...Winter Wheels

Recommended Posts

With the forecast calling for below-freezing temps this week, it was time to switch to the Winter Wheels. I got these a few years ago and I am a firm believer in their safety. It was raining out at the time, so washing the car was out of the question. I removed one wheel at a time and then cleaned it front and back, including the back of the tire so I could letter it. Then the barrels got a coat of DG beta sealant followed up by Permanon shot from a paint gun. The faces already were coated with OG, so they just got sprayed with Permanon. It took a lot longer doing it this way, but the new ones went away clean and protected and the winters will stay clean for probably one day <sigh>.

Here's the Summer's all ready to hibernate:

Here are the Winter ones. The tires are Blizzaks. I got the set from Belle Tire in Detroit almost 3 years ago.
