When you pull out of a parking space does your car look like it stepped on gum?

Would the change effect the ride much? I may look into this as well if that change is negligible. I have been looking at the "American Racing Villain" Wheels. They seem like they would look pretty nice and was considering getting the same size all around for rotation purposes. Just curious if the 18s would work.
Just to clarify, most of the guys posting have regular Boss 302s and those Pirellis are not R-compound tires. The Laguna Seca is standard with the PZero Corsas which are an R-compound tire. R-compound tires MUST ABSOLUTELY NOT BE DRIVEN BELOW FREEZING OR THEY WILL CRACK. In addition to that you don't want to even store them below freezing. Check the manufacturers' instructions for handling in cold temperatures.PeteInCT said:Running R-Comps in less than 40 degrees isn't a good idea - who ever said the rubber turns to hockey pucks is 100% correct. Get a set of Pirelli WInter SottoZero's.

That said, it was 28 degrees when I drove my Boss to work this morning. I spun 8 times then launched into the treetops. It's 51 degrees and sunny at noon today so I'm sneaking in a few extra days before putting it away for the winter. I wouldn't recommend driving aggressively in sub-40 temps, but as long as it's DRY you can drive it like grandma. I'm thinking things could get ugly in a hurry if there's any ice on the road.
