Wow it was icy this morning i didn't know.
I took a turn only going 20's and my car did a few wiggles.
It was the first wiggle i had in this car so it was pretty unnerving.
Now i know how people can slide around only going 20's.

the tires are too cold and have no grip on ice. go buy snows! blizzaks or perilli 210's. i use the perilli's and they are amazing. the ride is so much softer in cold weather versus S02's in cold weather.

Even on ice, the perilli's grip suprisingly well. worth every penny.

I drive my car as long as there is no snow on the ground, or it isnt supposed to snow. I drive it in ANY temp weather with the stock tires. If you dont push the car, and drive normally, they are more than fine. You will not lose control sitting on the highway in 6th doing 55. Doing 105 in 4th is another story.

I drove it all winter last yr except no snow or rain.
Or any wet pavement.
I guess i just gotta know it's going to slide a little.
I don't think it's worth it to switch now since i only got one month of winter left.
And of those days probably 2 weeks i will be driving s2k otherwise my beater.

NFRs2000NYC, thats true, but the ride will be especially harsh b/c the tires get so hard when it's really cold. the ride really gets smooth when you put on snows, which are much softer tires.
