im moving to Clemson this fall becaue of school and i dont know which tires to get. im coming from columbia. the S is my daily driver but i will be riding the shuttle bus to get to and from class but the S back and forth to columbia about every other weekend. i just ordered some Work meister S1's and i dont really want to wrap them in all season tires. but should i? i dont know how much, if any, snow yall get up there? but i want the best traction i can have and i know i can get it wiht the summer tires but i dont want to go sliding off the road into a tree. tires im choosing from is either the Michelin pilot sport ps2 all season or summer.

Thanks!!

 

we get snow maybe once a day, once a year. maybe an inch that sticks i we're lucky

 

..Coming from the guy that couldnt make it home because of the snow...



For real though, most seem to get away with running a summer style tire year around.

 

I'm in Clemson running summer tires all year round. Like Andy said, there may be ONE day of snow. You'll be fine with summer tires.

 

Andy I think you should post the pic of the "little" bit of snow covering our cars

 

sweet. thanks guys. summer tires it is. my dad was thinking it snows a bunch more, but were not completly in the mountains up there.


also do yall have any meets or hangouts up there??

 

we get together at a different restaurant every tuesday night here in the upstate, 30-40 min away from clemson

and of course nick or ryan can chime in about what goes down up in clemson

 

Welcome to Clemson. Most summer tires would work year round here in upstate South Carolina. Just keep in mind that when it is cold outside, the tires will have much less grip. Remember to slow it down on those days and you'll be fine.

 

^sweet. im looking forward to some of the meets!!!!

 

I'm a student at Clemson and we do have a Sports Car Club that is an organization of CU. However, a bunch of us tend to have a weekly meet (5-10) cars once a week, but most of the people/cars aren't members of the "club". But that's another story. Anyways, We usually just go somewhere that has some sort of specials for the night. (i.e. all you can eat wings and the sort)

PM if you want for more details and I'll introduce you to everyone. There's all sorts of cars, not just S2000's. We're outnumbered by 350Z's but no suprise there
