I'm not going to have a summer setup for my car by the end of Feb, and don't want to bother going w/ the Blizzaks on the car. Just wondering if someone that wasn't going would be interested. B7 A4 fitment needed. Thanks!

You think they'll hold up to tracking? Seems like they could get pretty chunked up pretty fast with any cornering speed at all.

I guess I could bring the Falkens along in case it dries up. It is such a PITA to change wheels in the wet/cold.

But you don't even want to think about heading out on a dry track wearing them or you certainly will make short work of those critters.

Wet is OK for the snow tires. But you'll want to have better tire is you run in the dry. I've got the SO3's for the wet and R compound for the dry. Can't wait for next month!!!

I speak from a very small amount of experience there in 2005. Summer rain at the PIR...not too bad. Winter slosh at the PIR...not as good (but seemed better with ALOT of water vs. just slick and cold, but speed also probably was a factor in the difference).

On B5 16" rims that I could lend. I will be trailering down, so I could even deliver.

Depends on if the 16s will fit over whatever you have for brakes.

The S03s are near the wear bars, but unless there is ice they should work fine. I replaced them for other more all-season tires, just haven't done anything with them yet.

Which B5 rims are they? I have stock brakes right now, and I don't *think* I'll replace them by end of Feb. If you tell me which wheels I can see if they'll fit. Thanks again.
