Najads with new Snows

Post by 850 LPT »

Getting ready for winter. I cleaned up the rims that came with my XC and installed o set of Dunlop Graspic DS3 tires. I got them for a very reasonable price from Tirerack. They had a closeout price in my size (205/65/15), plus I took advantage of their "get ready, get fifty" program. So far I only drove with them in dry conditions, but I'm surprised how well they handle. They are also very quite, another pleasant surprise. We will see how they perform on wet and snowy roads, but combined with the AWD, it should be fun :D
I also just ordererd a remanufacured driveshaft from Colorado Driveshaft. Once that is installed the snow can start falling.

Nice!

I lightened and sharpened a bit of your photo to see the tread.

I can feel the grip through my laptop's display :D. I think you're going to be just fine in the snow.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!
