winter tires in vancouver or all seasons?

haha... maybe i'll give these tires to brendon so he can mess up his car

they're wrong size for him too. but seriously, after 6 years the rubber gets hard and a little brittle. you should change them before too long.
check the manufacturer date on them, it should be 4 numbers (or 6 i think) in a raised rectangle. the first number is the month and the last few are the year of when they were made.

it's ok.. i'll prob get rid of these after this winter anyways... i gotta get new rubber after this season because my summer's are done... gonna put all seasons on these and give the tires back to alicia's parents... maybe they'll be stupid enough to put it on steelies for brendon...

I have a set of 205 45 16" snow tires used for 2 seasons that i need to get rid of.

[Duncan]

need 205/55/16

[nature boy]

no, you need 225/55/15, don't you read my posts?
you can't fit a 16" tire on a 15" rim. you can try, but you won't be successful.

[Duncan]

ummm.. my tires say 205/65R16 though.. doesn't that mean i have 16s?

[nature boy]

WHAT are you serious?
HAHA those are 15's you're running. i can't believe there hasn't been any problems!!! that's crazy man, i never heard of a person putting wrong sized tires on rims and they actually worked for 5 years....

i guess if you put a bigger tire on a smaller rim that could work, but i really wouldn't recommend it. man, how you're still alive is beyond me right now.

[nature boy]

seriously man, i would change those tires asap. you have a lot riding on them, literally.

i'm still at a loss on how they actually got the tire to stay on your wheel like that for 5 years. i read a bit online and everyone says that it will not work. i wonder if they glued it on or something weird like that.

are you sure it says 16 on your tire? i'm 100% sure that you're running 15's.

[nature boy]

wait, you're still running these:
right?

those are the ones i thought you're running and those are 15's. if you're running a different rim that would be a different story.
