JCW 18" Cup Spoke Two-Tone
Hi Guys,
Soon to be JCW owner here! I've placed a deposit for a custom build and have decided on everything except wheels. I really like the JCW 18" Cup Spoke Two-Tone wheels but I understand they only come with summer tires. I live in the northeast, and although I won't ever drive the car in snow/sleet, it's likely that I'll drive it during the winter (I have an AWD car for those days). I believe the 18" wheels come with Pirelli Cinturato P-7. Can anyone tell me more about how these drive? Maybe in colder temps? Or should I just go with the 17" wheels and all-season tires? I'm not very knowledgeable about cars/performance so I apologize if this is a basic question. Thanks in advance for your help! C |
If you go with 18" and summer tires, you will need a winter tire and maybe another set of wheels.
Also, depending on your road condition, you might want the 17" wheels. It's a little more resistant to pot holes. |

C Besides the ride harshness in Sport Mode they will be much quieter and being A/S will only need one set of tires. Have a Jeep for bad weather and snow anyhow. That is just my own humble solution. If you want a feedback on those tires next week, let me know. |
