on the RWD 06 mustang?

Yep. So far so good, no problems. I was expecting a lot more slipping and sliding, but There's almost none with the Altimax Arctic tires

Lol at snow warning... 2cm.

^^^^ 5-15cm

Summary

Total snowfall amounts from 5 to 15 cm are forecast for the south coast by Thursday afternoon and evening. This is a warning that significant snowfall is expected in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.

Details

Light snow continues to fall over parts of the south coast late this afternoon as a weak warm front remains draped over the area. However a second more moisture laden system will make its down from north b.C coast tonight and cause snowfall rates to increase overnight over the region. The snow will change to rain Thursday afternoon over most regions as the frontal system draws in milder marine air from the pacific. Over the inland regions like the Fraser Valley..Howe Sound..And Inland Vancouver Island the change over to rain will be delayed until Thursday night or even early Friday morning. Patchy freezing rain is also possible over the inland valleys late Thursday when the transition from snow to rain occurs. Total snowfall accumulations will generally be between 5 and 10 centimetres. Inland regions will receive closer to 15 cm total snowfall.

Well fuck me sideways, radio guy was wrong.

Doesn't look like i'll be flying tomorrow morning :(

No snow yet :( </3. I was hoping for atleast 5cm of snow for the morning drive

^^ we're supposed to get snow/rain snow till monday too if you believe TheWeatherNetwork ;)

Awesome drive to work, took the back roads on purpose.

Damn, I need to get my tires installed, worn old winters are not cutting it today.

good ol snowys well worth the 200 allready

^

best investment during winter lol

loved driving in the snow today..laughing at all the beamers and benz's as i passed them by:D

Still got the summers on. Got to work just fine...

Will switch over to the winters tonight though

^
surprise you are still alive lol

My All-seasons holding up just fine. Leave plenty of space, no sudden movements. stay in Richmond

I'm officially using Nokian snow tires for life, unbelievable snow performance.

Blizzaks + DCT on low grip setting = no problemo

still have all seasons on my subie, should i still be driving?

I wouldn't recommend it but it's your own discretion. I passed a lowered WRX hatch this morning that was on all-seasons and he didn't look like he was having too much fun. AWD + wrong tires in the snow = spinning all four wheels going nowhere.

Winter "performance" tires are useless...my Yokohama AVS Winter V901 are no better than my all-season tires...

My wife's General Altimax Arctics should arrive this weekend hopefully...

Yoko "performance" winters aren't any good, generally... the Ice Guard is the only good snow tire they have.

My Dunlop Wintersport 3D's have been awesome so far. :thumbsup:
