Summer in the Mountains
Yesterday, I officially declared that winter was over. I got new summer wheels and tires, and yesterday I had the tires mounted and put them on my ride. Of course, the first thing that happens is that it snowed several inches last night… I could have waited until June and it still would have snowed as soon as I put on my summer tires.
(It has all melted already, and it is back to sweater weather outside.)
Can’t say how the tires perform yet, but I can say the wheels look nice. They are Piaa FR-s 17×7 and Kumho Ecsta MX 225/45ZR17.

(This is the new storage system I threw together to store my winter tires. Can a couple of chains and 2×4s be called a "system"?)
