I just installed new all seasons and rims.

Put the original summer only tires and wheels in storage.

Maybe I have done this backwards.

from what I have read__??? summer performance tires should only on once temps are 7c+ --thoughts??? seems from outlook that is at least later this week???

Putting vet on the road this Thursday. Taking her in for oil change and then zoom zoom
Hoping the weather has turned for good. This up and down weather with all the rain we’ve had in the past week really getting to me!!!

Too late Ben, driving season is over. Time to prep for storage...

For sure!!!!
But then again, she was detailed before being stored for the winter.
I might just armoural the tires to dress her up a bit

Got summer wheels out and polished up the carbon fibre wheels ready to carefully install using Quickjack tomorrow.
Actually feels like spring out there today!!

Damn went for first drive and hit a hidden pothole=two cracked carbon fiber rims-front and rear-darn darn darn!! guess I need a new carbon fiber front and rear or a whole new set of practical good looking rims in black-any one???

Where did this happen?
Durham paid for my wheel and tire when I hit a pothole.

on 4th line of Oro/Medonte-backcountry road-my fault just not paying attention to lousy road-just seating in rims to check wheel torque settings-so first drive of 2026 on carbon rims which came on car, not my choice, but loved the look-ah well no more unless I find some equally unfortunate soul with a good set of a front and a rear carbon fiber rim! Probably end up with just a set of black oem rims like my winter tires have. Definitely a depressing first summer wheel drive for this year!

 

[DCV1]

Note anyone have a like new set of good looking black rims(20/21) for sale?? Or want a like new front and rear carbon fiber rim(less than 1000km on them) will throw in cracked ones for wall decoration!!!
