How does it feel driving when in 15's and winters? - SRT Forums

Does the car feel like a sloppy joe and the traction gets worse? Or is it more soft considering how much more tire there is?

Getting them on tomorrow

i don't know, why are you asking me? jk

i would imagine anything is better than the stock kdw's<---- theyre ass.

its a world of diff, ask mass silver

its not that bad softer ride and kinda wobbly on the highway but you get used it.
traction isnt as great as the stock tires but i just turned down the boost

very rolly.. no high speed manuvers it gets ugly quick...

3rd gear spinning on the higway is not fun either...

its definately softer, but yeah cornering makes me sad...But besides that i think its a pretty good overall ride...

i Love it... i have a set of 15" steelies with a set of blizzacks all around... i was surprized at how much smoother the ride is... no more noisy kdw's... snow driving is fun... wish it was AWD but it still holds its own in the snow...

Yeah, very smooth, not too noisy.
But forget performance or traction, you basically have to forget 1st and 2nd gear WOT and you have to be very careful with 3rd gear.

Also, the speedo is off by like 5mph on the highway.

If you downsize appropriately, your speedo will be fine. In most instances.. potholes are a thing of the past.

Being on 16's myself, it rides a WORLD of difference. Enough to where I am seriously considering a nice set of 16's for the summer also.
