be safe out there would hate to see what happened to dan happen to someone else

+1 my 193m's on my XI originally came with michellen pilot sport summer run flats.. I had changed to a continental DWS extreme all season since my car is a lease.. summers do not grip under 50F degrees not to safe...

Deciding to go with all seasons vs snow, what made you decided on AS?

Looks like there's a snowstorm tomorrow night, and 60 degree weather next week.

I leased my car I didn't want to get a dedicated winter set.. but these tires are great in the snow and especially in the rain i love em!

i don't have winter tires all i have are summers and probably wont change them since I'll be mostly driving the civic in the snowy days.

Got Blizzak LM22's on my Alufelgen 19"'s....good to go!

I still have my summer Hankooks on .... FML ... didn't expect snow this early.

TroyDeJ · 10-29-2011, 01:05 PM

my dad just got me snow tires for my old 16s so now i cant do a 335 front brake conversion till summer fml. But im not putting them on till the last possible minute

still got my summers on and was driving through the snow - tires are surprisingly good.

but like others have said, its still way too early for snows - waiting til daytime highs are consistently in the 30s.

I haven't gotten around to putting my winter/snow tires on my xi yet but it handled like a champ with my Continental DWS in 4" of wet heavy unplowed snow, even on huge hills. At one point, I had to stop on a big hill waiting to turn into my steep driveway, it didn't even phase my car. I'm glad I went with all seasons/winters rather than summer/winter now. I love snow.
