On your summer tires yet? *Update for 4/7 snow storm

well i figured someone who auto-x’s would know that softer tire compounds wear faster…my blizzaks for sure did not double the life of anything

excessive spinning of non-snows doesn’t help their life either. all i am saying is you’re going to go through tires at pretty close to the same rate, you might as well drive on the correct type while you’re doing it. :eekdance:

to each their own, but when i came to the realization that i was blowing throw a set of tires a year, why not buy one set of summer and one set of snow every two years instead? My last set of snows lasted through 2 winters and still looked new, my current set just came off from this winter and certainly look new still.

how do people go through so much rubber in the winter? I feel like even shitty snow tires should last an average car 3-4 winters.

summer tires lasting an entire season on the other hand…

my wheels are in pieces in my living room.
hopefully they’ll be ready to go by 5/1.

Soon. Im so tired of snows on the GTI. Which I have run for the last 3 winters at least. I think I could easily run another winter or two.

I think I saw you on NFB yesterday.

I was driving the girls impretzel.

my blizzaks lasted 2 winters, by the end of the second they were just about bald, might have well as been on summer tires by that point

since then, running only summer tires, they’ve been lasting 1.5ish-2years(driving about 20K/yr)

must have been g-jeff, mine was in hiding all day yesterday :stuck_out_tongue:

man the car looks so ridiculously wide lowered though

I’m on the RE-01Rs.

If it snows, I’m staying home with sick time.

No work or classes for me tomorrow, woot.

its gonna be weaksauce

That’s what I’m thinking and hoping for.

It’s still going to make people drive retarded in the AM.

Maybe we will get lucky and have some freak end of the season blizzard :tup:

Still on my snows :slight_smile:

Edit:

And will be all year…gotta love beaters!

If the Z isn’t done by the first track day i’ll prob just track the beater civic on the snows too…

RE-01Rs are rated N/A for snow/ice handling. :frowning:

i’m still keeping my summers on… its only one day

If it’s really bad though I can always have the wife drop me off at work. 4WD + all terrains on the truck. :slight_smile:

I expect to be taking the car tomorrow though.
