Altimax Arctic

Anybody been using them? I just had them mounted. Have very good reviews, were reasonably priced, and can be studded if needed. Already, on wet roads feel more stable than the stock tires.

Re: 2.4 L 09 Vibe - Disappointing Gas Mileage (Pink_Moon)

Wow, you never check your tire pressure. Sorry if this sounds rough, but coming from a sport bike background, I feel tire pressure is an essential part of safe driving.

aftermarket mud flaps/splash guards

My sister has the OEM mud flaps, and says that in the snow, they get packed up, and bind on the rear wheels. Does anyone have any aftermarket recommendations for more efficient rear flaps? Thanks, by the way, it's an '08.
