DIY Snow Tires... Success
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 :)
