Didn't make it to Mt Baker today but went to Stevens Pass instead. It was pretty awesome and the q5 handled the snow like a champ. I definitely recommend the Yokohama Parada Spec X's if you aren't looking for a full winter tire. Drove on areas of packed snow, slush and heavy snow coming down on wet roads.

I had my tires and mags installed last week and gosh it looks good, the mags are impressive I have to admit. I love washing the new mags as well with all that carbon dust *sigh* the original ones take sooooo long. My only compliant about the Q5, washing the mags cause they get dirty fast and look dirty

I'm quite happy with the deal I got through Tire Rack.
Rims: 18x8 Sport Edition F9 Bright Silver (each $130.00)
Tires: 235/60R-18 Bridgestone Blizzak DM-Z3 (each $115.00)
Time to let those 19" babies have a rest!
(Lots of rain here in the Northeast, but no complaints, temperatures are very mild!)

We bought 4 tires at Costco with a $60.00 rebate and floor mats as a give away. Ours are 18 inch and I think they are Michelins. We are also buying rims from a dealer here in Montreal, overall we saved alot of money
Shelby are you sure these are your Tires in 18" ????
