Winter gear


It is getting difficult to find studded tires for bugs. The smallest size for 15" rims is 185/65. Original rims are too narrow for those and it is challenging to fit them in fenders in a lowered bug.

Rear is not a problem - I have outside widened (welded, 6") rims and those fit just nicely. Front rims should be widened inwards.

Anyway I managed to find a pair used 165/80 tires for front and I'm sure those will last the few kilometers I drive in winter...

Another important winter accessory is the electric engine heater. Must be pretty rare in California B-)
