Oh damn!! That might just work LOL. We can both drive home on summer tires in snow lol. Will let you know man, thanks for the offer!
No worries, just let me know! We can always leave a little later as well if it'll help you out. 4 pm is about as early as I can take off from work today, lol

Yeah, driving this home is going to be interesting to say the least. Just going to have to behave myself :(

Well I'm driving to Vernon Hills right now and there is already a bunch of salt on the roads. Hopefully that melts before yall drive home. Don't want those salt chips flying up.

Decided to get mine tomorrow as it looked like light snow and cold temps by the time i would have left the dealer and having summer tires on a brand new car which have not been scrubbed in yet is not what I want to experience as my first ride :). Will pick up my car tomorrow at 11am :)

Nice! Do you plan on putting it away immediately or will you drive? Mine will be put away in the garage all winter except I may drive a few more days this week as weather permits!

Dealer called.. the car is in! I'll get the funds together tomorrow and pick it up Wed.

I may just have to sell some wheels for the Camaro and fund some winter tires on the EB.

Honestly it sounds cliche but putting the car in snow/wet mode it really helps to keep the tires from slipping.!

Here are the ones I ordered from tire rack. I had to go with 18's as I bought the performance package on the EB so this was the best deal I could find mounted and balanced
