Default Spidertrax wheel spacers in winter

Hi all,

I installed spidertrax wheelspacers this summer and now that winter is approaching I will install my winter tires, should I remove the wheel spacers ? I am affraid about the snow and the salt and calcium damaging the spacers and having to loose a wheel driving 130km on the highway

Thanks !

Mine made it through winter and still looked brand new when I took them off this past spring. I just wiped off the salt and dirt. There wasn't any pitting or corrosion at all. I think you'll be fine.
