Rallyarmors in place.


Spoiler next?

P.S. forum has proven very useful so far! Much appreciated

 

welcome to the site. You will def. love the ralliart regardless of the reason you are buying it. If you are going to treat it like you do the xterra, you'll be all set . I bought mine to go places most cars can't

 

Awesome! Thanks carbon air def good to hear that the ralliart is capable. I have to admit the top gear USA challenge on snow I saw was impressive.

 

the snow thing is the whole reason I bought one. I have had a lot of cars, but wanted something that wasn't weather pendant. This past winter I went to my camp in a complete snow storm. I drove threw 3+ feet of snow to get there. I had to push snow to get my door open. Car never stopped. Made it up the 20% grade drive way and all.

 

impressive...was this with dedicated winters i suspect?... I was thinking all seasons (Continentals...dfs?) just since storage space would not really work well....

 

If you're subjected to a lot of snow and REALLY want to see what the car can do, get a solid set of winters. I have Nokian Hakka R's and it is a snowmobile. I think I prefer winter over summer.

 

^seconded. I have winters just for snow. All depends about what your winters are like. We get a solid 4-4.5 months of winter. And i like to take full advantage of the weather.
Well as a comparison I have a work truck- 2007 GMC 1500 4x4 with an aggressive all season tire. In a snow storm I would rather drive my car over that thing even with 4x4.

 

for the win right

 

4/6 update: Finally got her. I am so excited and very happy with purchase.
Will continue reading on info from forum it has proven very helpful so far. (One question coming up from me though )

 

looks good man congrats on the new buy and you would probably be ok with a good set of all seasons i got a set of summers and a set of winters for mine i feel safer in the winter with my blizzaks

 

Thank you! yes i am considering some all seasons (looking into conti dws) ... but i have heard good things on the blizzaks.

 

hey if your looking at all-seasons look at yoko yk580 much better than dws imho

 

My car is as if its on rails in the snow with the blizzaks i love them an they came in handy a few times with the weather lately here in new england

 

Couldn't find the yk580 on tire rack... may not be searching right for them...

I bet have def heard good things on the blizzaks.

 

I run all-seasons since Pennsylvania weather is a bit bi-polar all around. I did a lot of research and ended up with the Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Positions because they were rated the best for dry weather too, and I didn't want to sacrifice that too much. Overall I am very happy with them, but they are my first set of high-performance all-seasons on my first performance-oriented car, so I don't have anything to compare them to except the stock summer Advans that came on the car.
