hey all,

For those that live in places where it snows, how do you find the stock tires handle in the winter?

 

They don't... city people might say otherwise, but if you aren't in the city on plowed/treated roads, which isn't winter anyway technically... they don't work at all.

 

x2 plus rep. get a set of steelies and studded tires

 

Yeah, they suck. I got stuck in my driveway once. Sometimes when I'd park and try to leave, I'd get sucked against the curb and stuck.

I'd plan on not driving it much without getting at least 2 winter tires on the front.

 

Yeah its not fun!

 

u have a 2.4!!! u cant related lol, i plan to use my street tires for winter,,and i live in winnipeg, we test winter vehciles here lol

 

yea but i have the stock pirelli's haha seriously though fall where i live is worse cause it rains twice as much as its dry and then when all the leaves fall of the trees and its raining you get no traction at all winter is pretty bad though, i do use the stock tires though cause oregon doesn't know how to drive so if the roads get icy at all everything shuts down and you just dont go anywhere. and i take my dads suburban to go to the mountain so its all good.

 

you know our stock pirells arnt the same as the ss/sc ones rite?

 

we have 205/50 R17 and they have like 215 or 225/45 R18, but its the same model of the all season pirelli tire

 

They aren't all seasons, and they absolutely suck donkey ***** in snow/ice. When the ABS kicks in when you gently apply the brakes on less than a couple inches of frozen snow/slush going downhill....it ain't pretty. I bought 4 16" steelies and some Blizzak revo's for this winter. I'm prepared this winter.

 

Our first snowfall came yesterday, sure it's almost all melted but i'm changing to my winter tires right away.... just with that little bit of snow.. that's not fun!!

 

yesss!!!!!!! i cant wait to die in a car crash with no abs and shitty continentals!!!!!!!! wooohooooo

 

i drove my ls, 2 days after i bought it, with the stick **** on it in 3 ft of FRESH snow over a mountain pass and it was fine...try getting a damned driver mod....thats what it is about (for us)...all you ss/sc guys are sol///your tires are slicker...made for dry traction...not snow.... i lived in ellensburg wa though, all winter with the stock balt and no studs or chains and did fine (for those that dont know its a mountany snow town during the winter)

 

You're 100% wrong on that one.

The SS has Pirelli P6 All-Seasons

The SS/SC has Pirelli PZero Rosso Max Performance Summer ONLY tires.

They're two COMPLETELY different models.

 

plan on driving something else once winter hits

 

They suck.. and would not recommend driving in them.. i slid right through an intersection, doing 50kmph.... and i gave my self PLENTY and I mean PLENTY of time to stop and still went through.. if ur looking for a death wish.. lol i would not drive with them.. get steelies and winter tires.

 

waht are steelies?

 

these!!!

Do NOT. i repeat, do NOT drive in winter on stock pirellis.

 

exactly, they don't handle, they just slide. thank god i don't have to run them this yr.

 

are they expensive, how much for the steelies and the tires i neeD?

 

the full set cost me $850 canadian. rims and tires

 

real men drive with they're stock tires in winter lol, thats what divides the pro drivers from the kids :P

 

kinda uglyyyy lol but i guess safety first....ill have to get some for the winter

 

darwin at its best.

when you wreck let me know. im lookin for a spare set of tail lights

 

lol, i was kidding!!!!
