What do you mean? Drive slow with the stock tires or when you get that alert?

 

ok this is my 2 cents.

everytime the temp is 3 degrees or below, this warning automatically comes up. so pretty much, it is an indication of POSSIBLE icy roads. our lancers are not that high tech in terms of detecting icy roads ahead. its just telling us to becareful, its cold so hence there MIGHT be some icy roads.

any other inputs?

 

yeah, its programmed to do that (but not necessarily at 3 degrees). same thing happened when i had my chevy cobalt... it would say "icy roads" or something during the winter... its based on temperature.

 

i think what he meant was that the stock tires suck!

 

dang yo.


im still wantiin on the photos

 

The stock tires in my opinion are considered Summer tires. The Wet traction is so so but enough for spring. But Winter Driving is where Death and Destruction will occur. Be very careful when first snow fall happens. I am referring to the 18" stocks, I didnt see what tires the 16" DE and ES are.

 

the mechanics at markham mitsubishi told me altho the stock tires for the 18s are all season, they strongly recommend not using them in winter lol. planning to swap to some michelins later

 

Strongly recommended = aka These tires will kill you
