Hi all, Am in the 2nd week of ownership and already doing what I said I wouldn't do with a BRZ - buying bits for it and thinking about upgrades! Can't believe the lack of grip in the wet, so will probably get some Dunlop Sport Maxxs next year. However, facing a winter of needing to use it down south and in Scotland, I'd like to get some winter tyres. On previous cars I've gone down a wheel size so enjoyed better ride and improved resistance to aqua planing with higher profile tyres. Has anyone tried 16" wheels or do winter tyres on the 17" rims work fine? thanks keef

Nice, can doesn't look too bad on the 16"s. I've used Avon Ice Touring before and they were pretty good. Either 16 or 17's and I'd get the same again

Many thanks for the replies, always much appreciated. Good point about the snow - if it is that bad will use a work car! Sounds like keeping the 17" and either going for a tyre swap and storage or a spare set of alloys. Begs the next question, 18" and good summer tyres???? But I'll spend some time reading older posts and wait till I've seen 18" wheels on the car. I'm a bit too old for max power, just want a nice balance of handling & grip. Having just spent the weekend away from the car, can't wait to drive it again - best thing I've owned since TVR days (argh the temptation of the Nurburgring....)
