Bending rims like a madman! Mixing tires?
I'm running the Replika winter wheels and obliterated one with a pothole. Got a new one, put it on, lasted a week obliterated it with a pothole. Ordered two new ones, as to have a spare.
Until the rims come, instead of driving around in a rental car, can I leave 3 winters on and put 1 summer rim and tire on the front? Or will I die?
Rim diameter (19) and tire size is the same on the fronts winter or summer - I'd have an Alpine winter on drivers side and a Conti summer tire on the passenger side for a week.
Think I'll live?

i feel like we have nearly identical cars. same gen, same year, same rims (summer), same color. clean off that brake dust will ya?! plain old vim works really well.
regarding snow, it's rather late this year, usually we have something by halloween.
