I have the DMZ3's on ASA's in 18" Tire Rack as well.

So far they have performed extremely well. Keep in mind your dry pavement traction will decrease dramatically and the turn in is way slower.

Here is a thread with some more info & pics on my setup:
Waiting for the snows... - Dodge Charger Forums



As you can see Tire Rack failed to mount the tire with the valve stem aligned with the yellow dot. Not sure why. I would think their techs know what that dot is for.

Tell us you will post some pictures of your ride going sideways down the road wearing those new shoes. Or perhaps some lovely figure 8’s in the local giant parking lot? Then again some doughnuts in the same parking lot? Sounds like so much fun! Good luck on your choice of shoe. Keep warm!

Ok, did a couple (bad) Photochops for opinions.... thoughts and ideas? Which do you prefer? (Remember they are gonna see the nasty salts roads of Ohio)





The second set are the Borbet's as previously mentioned. (Painted silver I believe even though the pics kinda look chromish)

Tough call, I want to say #1 but only when they are clean and showing the blinging lip. If they are super dirty I don't think they would show well.

This won't help you at all, but... I'm in Wisconsin and a frend of mine had an SRT-8 and hated it in the winter, said it was terrible to drive. So, when I went to buy my 300 (this past summer) I tried to get an AWD SRT-8 and for some reason Chrysler won't make one even on special order. I wound up settling for a 300-C AWD. And my first experience was a 9" snow fall and the car was increditable. Maybe it was too good, I had a false sence of security because I could go through virtually anything. The problem remains in that you still can't stop better than anyone else. The question remains, does anyone know if Chrysler plans to offer the SRT-8 in an AWD in the future? I can assure you that it would be really fast in that it would launch increditably good.

They already do; it's called the Grand Cherokee SRT8
