Nice, D.J. They really change the personality of the car. Great photos, as always.

Kumho Exsta ASX are Good tires for the $$$$ but

They are not great (or even good) "winter tires." Better than summer tires, but not much. I have had two sets on different vehicles including a current set of 17s on a Boxster. Decent tread wear, a bit noisey after 10-15K mi, solid but not ouststanding grip, good in wet. In Blacksburg, they come off the car in November and 16" snows go on until late March. If Chicago is as bad as I remember, don't think of these as winter tires.
ATB,
Tom
