Holy crap it was cold friday morning. Still rocking Dunlop Starspecs on my S and at 6:30 am, on my way to work, I was fishing the back end as soon as I gave a little bit of gas, even in third gear.
Based on everyone's comments and the reviews online, I think I will be ordering a set of General Altimax Arctic's for the CRV. $78 each. Can't go wrong.

In the sun, during the day, then yes it's warm. But driving during a clear night right now? There's definitely ice on the ground.

I thought he meant it was cold when he was changing over the tires.

Ran mine for almost 2 years, zero problem. I do try to give the car a quick rinse when I have the chance though.

QUESTION.. I have a set of dedicated winter tires on rims that i will put on shortly. BUT..i just ordered a new set of dedicated rims with summer tires that I will be getting most likely wed of this week/ nov 9th. I'd hate to pick them up and store them away for like 4 months...was thinking of slapping them on just to see how they look...the tires are brand new Dunlop SP Sport 01A obviously at 100% tread ...looks like weather is still on the above freezing mark but early mornings could be a problem? i'd just wanna slap them on for maybe a week so i can try them out. ... thoughts? worth the risk?

how do snow/winter tires compare to All Seasons in the rain?
Do snow tires channel water as well as All seasons do?

It smelt like snow when I went to let the dog in around 5pm.
Just wondering when you guys put your winter tires on do you notice that the tires are louder then the all seasons or is it just me?
