Winter shoes for my C7 I learned that when Michelin says summer tires they aren't joking!

Excellent choice but I would have gone with a set of winter rims as well. Subjecting the chrome rims to winter roads (aka salt, gravel, etc.) just doesn't seem prudent.

Will you please take a picture of them on the car, something like the below photo? There was a thread recently questioning the symmetry of these tires.

My Pirellis say'outside' on them. They are as shown in his pic....about the same tread pattern...must be a proven design.

I'm not disputing anything, I'm just curious what the Michelin Alpines look like on the car.
