    I'm selling my set of 4 Winterforce 205/60 R16 tires, mounted on the Sport Edition F2 rims, with a 100x5 bolt pattern. I bought these last year from Tirerack for around $650, specifically for the purpose of rally-x. I ran a few rally-x events with them, but never used them for winter or normal driving (other than commute to the event)... so they are almost new. There's still little bumps left from the rubber nubs.

    I'm selling them because I'm trying to consolidate my tire collection and stick with a single winter tire that doubles for rally-x. My previous winter tires were not very good for dirt and mud, so I got these to be competitive. Now I've moved to another winter tire that seems to be working out well enough as a mixed tire. Plus the Winterforces are sized more for a sedan and I like running a taller tire on my fozzy without having to get too wide.

    Here's the pics:

    I'm looking to sell these to someone local and not ship them. I live in Rochester. I can always bring them to a rally-x event... cuz I know you're going to be there too :laugh:

    They are a decent winter tire, older model, so nothing too fancy compared to some of the new stuff. I haven't actually used them in winter, so I cannot compare them to other models of tires. From what I read, they are decent on ice, but not as much tread-surface and siping as ice targeted tires. However, the tread lugging and spacing is very good for snow and digging, which is why I got them for rally-x. They aren't very noisy. Dry traction is alright, kind of what is expected from a soft winter tire.

    On a side note these tires are a little undersized for a fozzy, so just realize it will throw your speedo off a little bit. Related to that I do have another set of tires, not on rims, that are the appropriate size for the fozzy.
