Not bad. I think those would look quite nice on the Kizashi. They're not much different than the stock 18s"

Has anyone up north tried the Nokian WRG3's? Been hearing a lot about them and am curious as to how they perform on the Kizashi.

Would also like to know if any of you guys have tried either a set of Firestone Firehawks or PIrelli PZeros (yeah I know.the latter is an extremely pricey tire)

I've run the Firehawk sh30s on my 95 Altima and they were quite nice. But not as nice as the Bridgestone re950s or the Kizashi's re7xx. On the awd Kizashi the re7xx are ridiculous. I've only made the tires squeal 5 times since we've owned them and I'm very,very hard in the corners (my wife is usually yelling at me while holding the passenger handle, haha).

I ordered a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2.
Went for a smaller size in rim and up in profile, and narrowed them a bit as well. Better to have the low profile on summer rims instead.

So, 215/55/17 on the winter wheels.

Gonna put them on on the 20th, unless snow comes first. :)
I burn the gas, Prius owners save.

2011, Suzuki Kizashi SLS.

That should be a really good snow set in that size. I went with 205 and 16s which works very well except the sidewalls flex so much the car is lowered almost 2". :oops:

(and I'm downsizing to a 17X7.5" lightweight wheel with 225/50 R17T Goodyear studded...)

I've been given the opportunity to trade my wheels for a set of Work Gewalt's. They will be 17" but I can assure they will be the widest wheels ever to go on a kizashi.

Wasn't able to do much. Ordered an oil pan gasket, waiting on that then I'll get her back up and running
