well it was fun while it lasted

The great melt begins

Sweet little 8 pound 6 ounce Baby Jebus willing.

hey sorry in advance and I hope I won't get flamed too hard.


I've got a rwd sports car with all seasons - terrible in these conditions.. got a friend who works for a tire shop that can sell me a new set for 700.

Is it still worth it to grab the set now and install it for this season? or is it too late for that now and we all wait for rain and warm weather to push the snow aside?

worse case i capitalize on the tires this year and install them next winter - just that i live in a condo and storage is limited..

Thanks for your thoughts!

Its supposed to snow more. So I'd rock the winters.

Take the bus, cab. Not worth it for condo dwellers.

there is a decent chance that the worst is over, but you never know what tomorrow will bring. at least if you buy them now, then next season you'll have them and can mount them late november instead of doing the same thing you did this year and waiting till the last moment.

With this melt, just a friendly reminder to watch out for snow & ice bombs from overhead trees if you're on foot.

Are they studdable or studless?

I ran a set of 4 year old studdable Federal Himalaya WS2s that I got on rims for $550 for a season.
Since they were 'studdable', treadlife was very good.

They were brilliant compared to the top rated all seasons I had (Altimax RT43).
The Altimax RT43 had a TireRack snow rating of 6.0, DWS06 are rated of 3.67, and Michelin Premiere rated 3.78.

cool thanks for the suggestions guys - not to make this a tire thread but any thoughts on this?

size: 235 40 18 on all corners.

AFAIK the GSI-5 and GSI-6 have crushed walnut shells in the compound that make them better than most studless tires on ice and hard pack.

They also came on Lexus 3G IS F Sport AWD......... :yuno: :suspicious:

seen a few car share cars stranded and abandoned.

looks like they come with those low rolling resistance all seasons.

I unfortunately had to take a car2go to the airport and was extremely disappointed. Shitty low resistance all seasons, no ice scraper, and I had no idea how to turn traction control off (I looked up instructions on the fly and it's apparently a tedious process).

Shouldve took Canada line, way better than car2go

Driving a car that costs .35 cents a minute, expecting dem Hakkapalitas..

Some rats are enjoying the snow. :lawl:

I have a 14' IS350 AWD F Sport, came with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. Went for a quick spin through light snow, they feel alright.

My work van's FWD with 15" all weathers. feels like they cut through the snow better.. that or i don't really care and plow it through the snow like a honey badger :lawl:

Interesting, were those the OEM tires?

rats wants some sledge fun

Sounds like it was replaced before he bought it if it was pre-owned

I took the car2go to get to the Canada line.

The main roads were fine, it's the side streets that were terrible.

At the very least, these cars could come with ice scrapers like the Evos do...
