Looks good. Nice rims.
These are mine, right after I received them, 6 years ago...

Not sure I understand the question. Can you rephrase?

Both the rims and tires came from TireRack.

I am too. They rock. I've had them in winter on my last two cars. The rim protection they offer on the lower profile sizes, with the nice big rib they have, is the best I've seen. They have nice stable sidewalls for Q-rated tires too. As long as they keep selling them, I'll keep buying them.

Been watching the weather for a while now. Every week I keep thinking that next week is going to be the week ... then it looks like it is going to be warm for another week or so.
Maybe over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend I will install them. Who knows!

Planning to put winter shoes on wife's SUV the weekend before Thanksgiving since we'll be driving for Thanksgiving and don't want any surprises when we are away from home.
As for my car, well... whenever I get to it I guess. I don't drive it much, and I can get by on my all-seasons for some time if I have to.

This morning here is complete chaos. All Season tires at their best; in the ditch!
I understand people like you who do not drive a lot, plus have one car with snow shoes, but people who commute between C. Springs and Denver, on this altitude, up and down configuration?
In the ditch in this order:
1. Pick up trucks
2. SUV's
3. Subaru's
Although in might be tie between SUV's and Subaru's. Pick up truck by far take first place.

Same here. As long as it's cold enough, I'll probably throw mine on before I travel for Thanksgiving, as I don't need to hit a freak snowstorm coming across the southern tier with summers on...

If the temps will stay in the 50s I'll put mine on. But even as far as wunderground predicts, it's going to keep hitting 60.
The thanksgiving weekend / week is going to be 3 trips to my parents. Between that and work ... ~375 miles and wouldn't want a snow storm to pop up for that.

That is problem in Colorado.
I go to mountains 10 degrees. Come back home: 60's.

Heh... I'm actually in an opposite situation. My Arctics have a ton of tread left, but are old (hard), so this will probably be their last winter, which means I'd rather "burn them up" than my all-season Bridgestones which are expensive to replace.
