Guenter in Ontario
Hey Rich, It's just part of living in the great white north. This is only beginning - and Winter doesn't even officially start until tomorrow. I guess Mother Nature is just trying to prep us for it early. I always enjoy the pictures from the lucky ones down south who can drive them all year.
And I put about 10K miles on my favourite Boxster video to get at least a partial Symphony in Flat Six fix. Nothing beats the real thing of course.

Just out of curiosity, which tires did you have on it and how scary was it?

is emergency stopping.
I used to drive my Boxster with summer tires on clear winter days until I read a post from somebody who did the same. He was on the interstate and when the traffic suddenly stopped but he couldn't and crashed. Ever since reading that probably 15 years ago I've always changed to winter tires when the temp drops below about 40. You can be careful about acceleration and cornering but emergency braking is another issue.

I understand the concerns and problems associated with using summer tires in the winter. What are the problems with using winter tires in the summer?
True, but their behavior, e.g. breakaway character might still not be as bad as summers in the cold. Laz - 4 years ago |
