So yesterday it was 60 degrees and I figured I would swap out the tires on the 928 for the Blizzaks. They're good, but the front one just touch the brake shroud ducts so I figured I'd wait a bit. But I did install the rear ones.
Wake up this morning to 6 inches of wet, slippery SNOW! YAY! Took the car out, it went right up the 30 degree hill with no problem at all. Drove out to get gas, up the local hill past the abandoned cars that had piddly all season tires, got gas, came home.
Went down the driveway slowly and car drifted into the flowerbed. Was able to back it out (once again up the 30 degree hill) but with normal tires on front steering was not great. So noted: I do need to replace all 4 tires, will do once it warms up a bit.
Still, those tires are *GOOD*. I passed a couple of trucks that were stuck at the bottom of a hill. Purrs right on up.
