Well the Snow Tires where on the front porch today
Yea its time for some winter action to see how this car holds up
I went out and got the NEW Michelin Alpina PA3!! This tire looks nice and aggressive. I have never been let down by a Michelin tire to date. I cant wait to give them a test run in some snow
If they perform like the PS2's in the summer time then these are going to be awesome! I tried the LM-25 from Blizzak last year and they where okay. I expected more from the from all the reviews and what I was told by many owners.
Tire Rack was where I got them from, we dont get any discounts but they had them to my door in 2 days!

Im going to put them on this Saturday and will take some more pics of the car then.

Mike,
Nice! We will race and see who's tires are better
I love how TireRack is in Indiana, so they ship super fast. Usually 1 day.
I'm gonna wait till the temperature gets below 40. Probably mid-November

But driving in the rain with my summers is down right scary!!! 1/2 throttle and it starts spinning
I have to use snow mode, so I don't get into trouble.

You can count me in for a race in the snow. I will be putting my Dunlop snow tires on very soon. Maybe even this Sunday?
0-60mph or any type of race with a turn and I think I will take you guys. I am pretty sure that I would still get stomped after the 1/8 mile and beyond in the straights.

Yeah, you will own us in the straights too. All you have to do is stomp on it. We would probably have to turn trac off and feed in the throttle.

Ill Take the AWD all day long with the SNOW tires on my car
If you are up for the challenge let me know
Brian Dunlop does have a snow tire. Not as popular but I hear they are good. The BMW guys tend to like them, so I am told. Blizzak is the most common tire....I am a die hard Michelin guy so since I got them new this time I got what I wanted
Im putting mine on this Saturday and getting the alignment taken care of. Maybe I can find some other goodies along the way to add to the fun.

So I got dedicated winter wheels on top of the AWD. Had them on for last winter. It's like a Zen feeling or somthing.
