LOL
No sorry to bum you out Virgin 1 not stocking you......
Just made sure you weren't from a cold climate before I threw myjab about cold weather....ha ha ha

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this...
I don't think I will find a better deal and once the warm weather starts
up again the car dealers sales usually start getting better for them.
Which means less wiggle room price wise for us...

Just keep in mind that there is going to be times when you are going to need to turn your TCS off when going up a snow-covered hill. I learned this from experience with mazda vehicles. Not only does my 6 take me to a dead-stop going up a hill but the 3 acts in the same manner. If I disengage my TCS, I can make it up the hill that is covered in snow at the expense of spinning my tires.

I can't remember when I last spelled it out...Its just MA to me....

Funny you mentioned snow tires I have a quistion for you.
I have 15" Blizzaks I bought a year ago that I'm keep when I trade in my other car.
What/were should I be looking for 15" rims for my 3

I did the calculation about going from 205/50/17 to 205/60/15 and there is less them 2% difference so they will work.
Didn't the sedan 3i come with stock 15's?
Here is the tire calculator...pretty cool

PS
I put a deposit on the car........Getting it monday!!!

When you are adding a post click the add image button on the tool bar. It is the one that is yellow and looks like a mountain post card with a stamp on it. Then just browse to your image and add it it will then display in the post.

Good Luck.

when you click reply to post, it should have a link that you can click that says "Click here to upload!". Once you choose your file, click the embed in post button and you are good to go!
