DIY Snow Tires... Success

[chai]

Tools used:
Yaris tire iron
Torin aluminum jack
Beam-type torque wrench w/1/2" 21mm socket
Elbow grease/body weight

Tires:
General Altimax Arctic
14" Steelies from TireRack

I took it for a test spin... much improved traction. As you can tell from the photos, I will need it...

Edit: TPMS sensor went off a few minutes after the picture. It doesn't bother me, all were pre-inflated to 35 psi.

the altimax arctics are some of the best snow tires i have used. i live in alaska, and we are currently in a winter storm warning with 8 inches of snow tonight and more tomorrow. with those tires on, i dont have a worry or care about getting around town, they grip like nothing else on snow and ice.

Taking the snow tires off today, back to the 15" OEMs... snow tires performed admirably in all conditions, especially ice and snow :)
