New Shoes!

Got new 275/60R20 Cooper AT3 tires installed a week ago and I am very happy with them so far. The originall Perelies lasted 64k, but they have been crap for traction since they were new! I am courious to see how these Coopers will do in the snow in a couple of months..

After I saw pictures of some other on here, I decided to go with the 60s. I like the look of the 60s much better than the 55s. I will post some pics tomorrow..

Same thing here. Went with a 60 ratio instead of the 55 ratio. Loving the choice as it just looks better.

Went with the 60 as well, but seriously considered the 65. 60 definitely better looking (more proportional) than 55.

I also considered a 65, but I was afraid I would have to get a leveling kit to prevent rubbing on the front tires.
