just got my winter tires put on yesterday just in time for the nice dump. bought kumo's KW17's. got out this morning and my driveway was a sheet of ice and inclined too.... no problems backing out. got on to the road and it was all ice too did a hard brake and to my surprice no sliding. a little slippery starting off from a stop but i'd expect it from a rwd. good price. to mytires.

 

I refuse to put my winter wheels on yet!

 

I wouldn't have gotten to work this morning without them.

 

^me too!

 

Puttin' mine on tomorrow.

 

Dang, you guys have snow already??? That's crazy!
I had the roof down 3 days last week

It will be another month before I put the ol' Multi on the road (shit-ass winter beater)

 

Made it home on the night it snowed. The S02s can handle slush alright. Compact snow was another story, good thing I didn't stop or getting started would have been a problem.

I am going with the Kumho KWs on Saturday, at least $100 less per tire than the Blizzak LM-22s. I think Contemporary Motorsports has better prices for them than anywhere around.

 

daym, winter driving in an S?!

 

Why not? I just keep the top up.

I used to drive my Miata in the winter - not bad at all....with winter tires. On the other hand I distinctly remember driving up the Fortress Mtn. road with the OEM summers in Dec. 1990.....and passing a stuck 4WD van!

By the way Fortress is open again this year in case anyone hasn't noticed.

Was out in the slush/snow myself last night, had to smile when I blew away a Toyota Forerunner from a light with ease....... No-seasons/whatever OEM and 4WD do not equal 4 snows (mainly this factor of course), RWD and good weight distribution.

Oh, I wouldn't brag too much yet.......the sun should be gone for you for the most part until March any time now!
