Nope, still sitting in my basement. I'm not going to put them on until the first real snowstorm hits. For now the Pirelli P6's I have on my 17" rims will do.

Dude the P6's are still goin strong, haha. They got me through that one slushfall we got. Before I put my Blizzaks on the 17's I am going to do a nice smokey burnout haha. I have already roasted the majority of the tread off my fronts, I just need to rotate them so Ican do it all over again with the rears hahah.

I'm going to put mine on tomorrow. I have 16" black steel rims too. Had some hub caps for them, but I cracked one. You can't really see it so I may put them back on. Perhaps I'll put 3 of them on and leave the last one an open steelie. Then I can look like the Civic sitting out in my work parking lot right now.

All-Season tires eliminated the headache of Summer/Winter changes.

my dunlop m3's are awesome on dry pavement. they always make me consider wanting to buy smaller wheels with bigger tires because the ride is so much better, traction is better, and handling is great

I have my winter tires on I got new tires the same size as the last ones I had on the car 225-55-16" and I need to get the rear fenders rolled for the new Goodyear's I got they are wider then the Michelins I had on the car. I have shaved some of the tires sidewall off because of it.
