Yeah, this was my first winter with snows on and I noticed a huge difference in ride once I took them off.

JayTea - is that First Markham Place in the back? That reminds me, I need a new set of glasses soon! 😉
I live those wheels - but watch out for those potholes!

My wife's IS350 is on summer tires already.... she takes the bus or bikes to work quite a bit in the spring anyway due to MN Twins games destroying the parking near her office. So even if it snows again the bus is an option.

I assumed it would be
from my other thread -
.... so assuming it is a total loss I expect a check for ~20k from insurance
... but $10,500 later they repaired it all without totaling it.
We got it back like 5/6 days ago and all seems to be in order... I took it into Lexus to have them go over it and they said everything looks good as new.
