It looks better than I thought it would and worked great for the end of winter when I got the car. No issues of any kind. I think the car looks better with smaller wheels/meatier tires personally and if I ever get new summer wheels they will be no larger than 16"

I completely agree. I think I'm going to go with 15'' for winter and 16'' for summer also.

Looks great man. I really need a good set up for winter, I don't want another winter like I had last year. Ha.

Finally, I have my own ST instead of a marketing pre-production prototype :)

Not much is done to the car since I have only had it for a week, but I have installed 17" x 7" Axis Touring Cup wheels, P215/40 17 Yokohama S-Drive tires, Mountune drop-in filter, yellow Lamin-X fog lamp film, stubby radio antenna, and some FordRallyeSport decals. I have different fog and headlamp bulbs, but have not had time to install them. Next real modification is the Cobb Accessport.

Great photos, at least you don't have to give back this one[biggrin]. Have you noticed any major difference between the prototype and this one?

There is more paint protection film on the sides and rear quarter panel than the prototype had, and the sound symposer foam insert is different. Otherwise, the car is the same. I swear it isn't as loud, but it has been 8 months since I last drove the prototype car and have been driving my loud 2011 Fiesta since. Oh, another difference is that the horn doesn't sound if the engine is running and you get out of the car. That was horribly annoying when trying to move the car around to take pictures.

Second these. I bought this exact set up. I'll have them on at the end of this month.

I bought the car in March and left the dealer with that setup on the car. I really enjoyed driving in both snow and (in that picture) cold dry roads. Ride is a bit softer (as expected and desired), I don't recall too much more road noise. I probably have another month or so before they go back on but its only going to be in the 40's today.

Do you recall when making hard turns like off ramps if the tires break loose easily? Not expecting summer or AS performance but just curious in their limits in cold dry. Im reading that the Mich Ice handle like A/S so im leaning towards those if true.

No issues at all with stability for me.

Can you take a pic of the rear of the car, wanna see how thin the tires look from that angle.
