Pretty sure the 300M is fwd…I think you’re thinking of the 300C

I’m still rocking the 245/45/17 Kumho all-seasons on the SHO…got the snows on stock wheels in the basement waiting to go on. I’ve kept these on simply as a test to see how well they do. So far, not impressed…

That may be true up north but, I drive through “The snow belt” everyday and good snow tires and quattro technology come in handy.

i also agree…but the only reason i got my snows is because I needed new tires anyway and they were the same price as all-seasons …i drove the last 3 years on all-seasons and did fine

:word:

Corded tires don’t work in the snow. Otherwise I would have kept what I was using.

No. And my all seasons are getting old. And it’s very scary. But I don’t have money.

:gtfo: 😃

In 10 years of driving, ive never once bought snow tires.

Never had a problem with getting stuck/accidents/etc.

Same goes for getting to holiday and back. :gotme:

Must be the driver mod. 😉

Even when the storm hit in october, I made it from downtown buffalo all the way down broadway to one block from my house before i finally had to give in and park my car onthe side of the road because of a downed tree. Meanwhile I must have driven past about 50-60 disabled cars, about half of which were 4x4s :bloated:

So yeah, im pretty amazing. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v181/87FOXGT/thankya.gif](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/6/e/6e0ab051d8f9813bf11440d7d81303f5285a05b3.gif)

i think alot of us get snows because our normal tires are summer only.

I don’t care how good of a driver someone is. Things get hairy with bald drag radials…

Nope, but I only got the car two days ago. Running around on bald Toyo’s to and from the local hardware store.

DORIFTO!

I have a set of Nokian’s on the way 😉
