Who's doing it this winter?

With freezing temps arriving nightly here in Ottawa, I've just ordered a new set of 17" Michelin X-Ice tires for the Magnum. Tire guy says they'll likely last only a season due to the nature of the higher horsepower and rear-drive.

So, how many of our Canadian or upper state members plan to drive thier SRT's in the winter?

 

Well....i'd say i count as an "upper state member" but i will NOT be driving it in the winter....thats what the rams for :thumb:

Miss my Ram every once and a while...a new one at 50% off list (no shit) looks pretty good!

 

i wont drive it in the snow

stevo where in westcheter u live at i live in harrison

 

I will be but its not an SRT...

I'm thinking about blizzaks tho.

How do the x-ice work? Have you had them before?

 

I am, the stock GY's work fine on the Jeep. I'm contemplating the switch to BS Dueler HP's in 315/275, but they have less tread.

 

Uh, what for? What's that white stuff called again?? AAAAAAAAAAAAhahahahahhahhahaaaaa!! (sorry Joe, I gotta stick it to Stevo every chance I get, lmao!!)

 

Nope. I'll be storing it for 3 months again. It's going to be a loooong winter though...

 

I'll be driving the wife's Infinity G35x for the winter, she retired last month and won't be needing it much, so I don't have to go out and buy a winter vehicle. That car is great in the snow and ice and doesn't have the ground clearance issues that the SRT has. I used my Magnum R/T for four winters with Toyo 18" winter tires and had no problems but the winters up here really take there toll on the car, so now that I have the MSRT I'll just be driving it in the summer and use the winter months for mods.:bigwink:

 

Mine will be storring for at least 3 month

 

i'm curious, how are you fitting 17" wheels on an srt magnum? heck, i don't think i can even fit 17s on my r/t.

 

215-65-17's (factory size for all V-6 LX's) should fit your R/T fine. Lots of new takes offs available on eBay as many people (especially in the south) seem to take em off right away and put dubs on...

On the other hand, 1.25" front hub adaptors are required for the Brembo's on the SRT models and work fine (the rear Brembo's don't require anything special regarding clearances).

The factory 65 series 17's aren't far off the factory 45 series 20" dia. that our rides come with.

I have pictures of my mod done last fall (referred to as the SXT mod after a friend sent me my 3.5 L HO emblems for the front fenders).
