Currently stock. But need to change. My calipers are all ****ed up.

 

But then you cannot clear brakes...

For the Outback I'm looking at Michelin Premier LTX in 235/65/17.

For the Explorer I'm looking at Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015.

 

Red 4 pots still work which is what I'll be doing soon.

 

This.

 

That.

 

I'm on those BFG's on the truck, Law. Mine are worn to ****, and it's on a 5300lb truck, but driving in regular snow conditions they do ok, and they're ok in deep stuff when not worn (and do ok in light mud, lol) - but not much siping and edging means that in your average icy/slushy stuff they're can still get hairy - they perform more like an unsiped mud terrain than a good snow. That will be exacerbated on a lighter car unless you have a very narrow footprint for positive pressure, and they still turn into hockey pucks in the cold - do a cheap set of snows and you'll be safer. That said, they're still way better than passenger all-seasons and they're reasonably quiet (and I'm on 285's).

 

QQ, do 4pots and run 15's. I have pizzacutter Bridgestone Deulers in 205/70/15 on Braid Winrace Acropolis gravel wheels - they clear the 4/2's and they're banshees in the snow.

 

Take a look at those Yokohama's I posted they carry the severe snow rating with the mountain and snowflake like a true winter tire.

 

My wheels don't clear 4 pots.

I've exceeded the capacity of many pads. I've now exceeded the capacity of my calipers. If I stick with the same rotors (4 pots). It won't be long before I exceed the capacity of the rotors. I don't want to be around when the rotors go.

Objective: Bigger rotors and calipers that don't have rubber **** in them. Fit under RPF1; good. Fit under stock; better.

 

just be a man and 6 piston that ****

 

If you want bigger rotors then you won't be able to get even 16s to fit.

 

Yeah, but I'm cheap and have a set of Toyo Open Countries AND a set of BFG Mudterrain KO2's on the side yard, lol. Trying the Toyos first to make sure they work well in snow, then they'll go onto Carolyn's truck once I get the front end lifted properly.

 

That's the plan...

 

Fair enough, some of us don't have spare sets of tires laying around

 

You can start to...
