Mine have been off for over a month now. Its too cold for SUMMER tires and well its one thing I dont have to worry about Good thing I hardly drive so its not going to harm anything.

You warm weather members only wish you could run 2 sets of rims/tires for the season like we do

Yeah I know. I live in AZ and grew up in LA so I never had that experience. It seems like it would be a pain in the ***. I guess they do this stuff in more places than places they dont

I actually welcome the winter and a chance to rest the 20s for a bit. Use some of that Lexus stock rubber and plus its nice to have a softer, more comfortable ride for a few monthes. It also gives u something to look forward to in mid March when the weather breaks.

if i were to do it at my friends garage then i would need to transport the stock wheels in another car and then go back to get mine, do the wheels, drive my car back then bring the other car back to get the rims. too much of a hassel.
