I wish I found this out before I bought them, lol. Unfortunately when I bought them I was going off customer reviews on tirerack...

X-drive = fun

U got to remember with reviews of any sort, u got to take it with a grain of salt. For example, if the person that wrote the review was driving on all seasons all along and this set of winter is their first set, ofcourse they're gonna give it excellent reviews.

Just got mine mounted and wow! I tried out some snowy side roads and parking lots and these tires are fantastic.

That's good to hear! :thumbsup:

For all you pussies scared about driving step it up!
This guy is gauranteed on stock tires buying wood at the home depot in his lotus.

says you

Aint nothing wrong with winter performance tires, you just trade a little deep snow and ice capability for better dry handling. Really works out to what you need

Is it normal when you guys steer the wheel and make the sorta like a squeaking noise ?
I drive a 97 corolla.

Yay for all season winter rated tires!

I agree, in dry and even wet conditions, it handles pretty well in cold temps. But in snow and slush, it is no better than my all seasons.

first time driving in snow tires to the airport and they help a lot while other ppl are spinning their wheels:thumbsup:

I doubt he's on stock tires, what makes you so certain that he is?

It's drivable with All seasons but I don't recommend it. Most of the main roads are drivable. I recommend everyone changing to snow tires even though I'm still on my Yokohama Envigors. Will swap soon but just tested them out with light and deep snow, they felt great!.

Drove a few different cars today with different brands if tire. Was so glad to get back in my truck with firestone winterforce tires. Really good traction for the how much they cost me

got a set of brand new bridgestone blizzaks ws70's, superb

All seasons are cool on main roads if your careful, but I expect a Lotus would come stock performance summer tires, not all seasons.

Does anyone know?

Did fine on the roads today. Only spun once when I floored it on the highway. Blasted by some trucks stuck on the steep neighbourhood hills

Has anyone tried buying/installing tires in the states and not claiming it at the border?

^ Worth the risk of getting black listed? NO.

+1. Its only 12% HST plus I think a dinners worth of levies. Its never worth the risk to have a flag on your name every time you travel here on out.

On a related note. Put the winters back on tonight (Goodyear Nordics), night and day difference from the Summers. Get your winters on everyone!

If you perform non-emergency repairs or upgrades to any vehicle in the states, when you pass back through the border your vehicle will be taxed at its total value, not just the repair value. I believe you also are required to submit to the entire vehicle importation process.

Will you get caught, maybe not, but if you do those will be the most expensive tires you ever bought. My uncle took the gamble a few years back, he was caught and I guarantee he regrets it.

Rocking V12Evos right now.

work well in the snow i guess.

:)

Work for a family member I guess it help that he drove through dirty area and his rims were curb to he'll and hella dirty.


Didn't know that u have to declare the whole car though
