Not really - that's one reason why I got anthracite instead of silver

Wow, I'm so glad I chose these tires and put a mild stretch on them with the 9" wheels! There is no appreciable squirminess to be had - they feel better than every A/S i've ever run. And I'm coming off of some pretty awesome summer tires - PSS's!

I really am impressed with this michelin product. If they weather the upcoming storms well I will be very pleased.

My winter tires handled that... cold rain like a champ!

I just mean it's a ton of spokes!

The stock 189s are my choice for winter due to their simplicity (for comparison).

I drove around in that S yesterday and hated it....makes me appreciate my Subaru so much more!

hknite · 12-06-2013, 06:23 PM

Incoming wintry mix this weekend! can't wait to test out the snow shoes...

Eugeinus · 12-09-2013, 05:24 PM

Get ready for some snow fun tomorrow boys and girls!! Drive safe

EZ_TUR90 · 12-09-2013, 05:55 PM

Winter Mode.

Sorry Guys.

PSUSMU · 12-09-2013, 06:01 PM

I remember when I drove to work in 20" in NH.. DC = amateurs

135Pats · 12-09-2013, 06:51 PM

@ashmostro all that tire looks badass.

The 1er spends this type of weather on the sidelines. When it's dry out i'll hoon around on the summer tires a bit. The Accord and E90...well mostly the Accord will eat the heavy rain.

Yeah, the problem with DC is you have a crazy mix of drivers. From people that are from the North and super experienced, to people who have never seen snow. DC is too transient. And that's why I try to drive as minimally in the snow around here as I can. You never know what tuckfard is going to randomly spin out into your path here.

That said, snow driving can be fun, and I did drive the 335 over 400 miles through that blizzard we had in 2010 (with over 2 ft of snow).

Eugeinus · 12-10-2013, 09:05 AM

well that was a letdown. Roads were clear. No surprise the govt is closed though!!

I'm going to stick it out another week, but it should be fine based on the weather. Looks like we're done with snow

Maybe...but not with the potholes.

ashmostro · 03-09-2014, 09:42 AM

Good point... My summers are 19"... Might stick with my 17s for a bit.

62 degrees forecast for next Saturday... Dyno Day in Crofton, according to Pat@Sonictuning.
