So, continental extremecontact dws do alright in the snow. Break almost immediately once you hit boost but it was also all slushy. Normal turning, accelerating and stopping was fine, only thing i have to compare it to was the old subaru legacy i used to have though

 

Lol, washed my wheels in the snow. Back to the garage she goes!

 

Lousy morning. Drove from Renton to north Seattle and back (amazing in the snow w/ Blizzak's!), car dies out on Rainier Ave S. while trying to make a right turn. It cranks, but won't start. Luckily I'm right in front of a Firestone, hopefully it's just a blown fuse/sensor!

 

Not the best place to break down :/

 

Got to drive the car through snow for the first time. It's one thing to hear everyone say how great our cars are in the snow, and its another to experience it first hand for the first time. My wife got to drive it around too, to get a feel for it, and all I can say about the entire thing is the car really instills confidence that it can handle any weather you throw at it.

yay

 

^^ Yep. just don't get too overconfident

 

So true! I have 2 wheels to send for repair and an alignment appointment to make now cause I got cocky.

 

^ uh oh

 

Ouch been there. A couple years ago a little too much confidence plus rain plus boost spike led to me buying a new wheel. Hope you get everything fixed quick.

 

edit of this statement. found some real snow today, tires hooked up way better in that. you can figure for yourself what "hooked up way better" means. again, i've never driven blizzaks, but for A/S tires these did well

 

had a few inches over the weekend



and after coming back from some empty parking lots

 

I still haven't bothered to get ice/snow tires. But luckily it's not bad out.

 

I'll second that. I work for a tire shop and I've seen a lot of people bring rim's in that are crushed from being to cocky.

The key to driving in the snow is to gun it, and slam on the brakes. Only.

 

haha.

I felt uber prepared in my AWD Jeep with Blizzaks.
