After much debate as far as going to 18's, or winter wheels with Blizzaks - I made a compromise I am comfortable with. Sold my Pro-Drives, and got the OZ Racing Chrono Evolutions. Tires are Continental ContiExtremeContact - 215/40/17 ZR. They are all seasons, and while not as sticky as the Yoko Parada Spec2's I previously had, I was aware of the reade offs of going to an all season. So far the ride is quieter, wet handling is good.

Beautiful pictures of a fall day and an excellent MINI.
Your wheels are fabulous. Nice powerslot rotors!
Parada spec 2 tires are good for the track, look aggressive in the tread, but are noisy!

Thanks Minihune....and yes, the Yoko's were getting way noisy with age.

and the cleaning factor was a big thing for me going back to a 5 spoke design from the Pro-Drives. I had put my R83 Daytonas back on just for kicks, and I realized I preferred the 5 spoke look
