After the winter is over you're going to "bitch" again because:

a. the staggered 20" with DSW set up gave you just about the same lousy performance as the stock Dueler H/P ... the problem is the massive staggered size ...

But .. at least you had the look.

b. when you're ready to swap your winter tires for your regular tires, you may be told that this is NOT recommended because they are Run Flats! Some tire places, including the dealers, will not swap because of the stiff sidewalls, etc. RFT are designed to be mounted once ... they say.

All this swapping WILL scratch your wheels and could cause TPMS damage ... and you won't know until after everything is mounted and you picked up the car ...

c. After you swap + balance 3 or 4 times, you will have spent almost as much as buying a second, dedicated set ... just saying.
