Funny thing is, I haven’t even put them on my wife’s car yet. But they’ll be going on this weekend and we’ll see how they handle the winter. My wife’s commute is 3 miles round trip, I wouldn’t even bother putting snows on her car if the city of Syracuse actually attempted to plow our street. But they don’t, it’s absolutely pathetic. ---

My wife’s commute is 3 miles round trip, I wouldn’t even bother putting snows on her car if the city of Syracuse actually attempted to plow our street. But they don’t, it’s absolutely pathetic. Update on these tires: Took a small highway stroll for about 15 miles and was surprised at how quiet they were for a snow tire. Much quieter than my Michelin Alpin’s. We’ll see how they do in the snow once it eventually comes. Syracuse has been consistently about 5 degrees warmer than Buffalo so the forecast this week shows a chance of some mixed precipitation but no snow accumulation at least for the next 10 days right now. ---

Thanks to Paul at swerve :tup: And yes, it does sound like I am driving on a gravel road all the time now 🤣 Just waiting for it to snow… I think it’s gonna be a bit of a wait. I got my pile of shit running Sunday in anticipation of snow and it looks like nothing for a while. ---

Haha wintermode enabled. Fuck I am SO not in the mood to deal with snow. Living in South Buffalo means I get up an hour early to shovel my car out before work, then leave for work early because the ride to Amherst takes twice as long, then work all day watching the window and seeing a foot of snow pile up on my car. Drive home, which takes twice as long. Get home, snowblow/shovel for two hours. You get one hour to yourself before you’re so goddamn tired that you go to bed only to do it all over again. FML Oh yeah, and a lot of those times there’s no snow up in Amherst and my northtowns co-workers constantly ask, “What snow?” /bitching ---

I also had a set of Dunlop winter sport M2’s or M3’s (1997 Prelude) i don’t remember which its been a few yrs. I also did **NOT** like them one bit. In fact i like the cheap Sams/Walmart snows MUCH better. ---

I think the wintersports, at least the M2’s I had, were geared way too much toward “sport” and not enough toward “winter”. ---

I would agree. I’ve never been back to a “speed rated” snow tire. Seams Bass Ackwards to me?
