My new winter wheels

[UN4GTBL]

Got the call yesterday that my Blizzaks have arrived.

Perfect timing too, as I got 4 of these boxes yesterday morning too:









Now I just need to figure out if I want the tire pressure sensors in them...

These are the 2014-2018 Cherokee Trailhawk black wheels, which I like the style of better than the 2019+ TH wheels

Those black wheels were my favorite wheel style offered on the Cherokee Trailhawk so far. I want to see pictures of yours once you get them on.

I'm indifferent mostly. I kinda prefer them in the unpainted, aluminum look, but, the black wheels will be a nice change to the look for the winter.

But, for winter wheels, I think the paint will help protect them from the garbage they spray on the roads here. And, if I end up in Quebec again, not having aluminum coloured wheels will hopefully prevent an unnecessary encounter with the police (they require winter tires) even though I will have Blizzaks on them.

I think those will look good on your Cherokee. Alberta and some places in BC have already started getting snow we just went from rain to sun for the past few days but it's cooling off quick.

Edit: Corrected a curious autocorrect from my phone.

How do the Canadian laws work for winter tires? Living on a bordertown all the Canadians during the winter and early spring are pretty much running steel wheels and winter tires on their vehicles...

It varies from province to province, where I live starting Oct 1st you have to have tires with the snowflake symbol until the spring.

Ontario doesn't require them...yet...

All cleaned up and ready to go:



Had to move my tire rack down a couple inches so that they would fit:

Eagle-eyed viewers will notice something on my roof:



Got it from a forum member who traded his KL for a new JL

Will probably take it off for the winter, as it would make snow clearing and car washes annoying.

Jeep center caps arrived today for my winter wheels

 

[UN4GTBL]

Welp, installed my winters on the Jeep, as it's about that time of the year already:


And finally installed the rear mud flaps:

[Freshforged]

Looks fantastic!

I wish we'd get some snow. This time last year, we had a snow storm.

One great thing about silver is that it looks cleaner than it actually is:
