Re: Driving in 68 degrees with Snow Tires - no hurry to change them

What?.... Oh I'm going to to burn up my Pirelli snow tires?!?! Oh shock! Oh dear.

Good 'cause I hate them.

I really really dislike these Porsche recommended N snow tires. So much so that I called Porsche to complain (felt good at least).

I used to post that I never got stuck with my 2000 Boxster S now with about 175K miles and my only driver. I used to say my Boxster was my best snow car I ever had and I meant it. Well this year, I almost got stuck in my own, plowed driveway!!!

Anyone near Philly wanna buy some lightly used casual used snow--- wait ---- winter tires? I will give you a good deal.

If you were here yesterday you could have used them. 79F on Saturday and snow on Sunday In fact early Sunday AM it was 70F.

I did the same thing with the Blizzaks I got for my 1999 Boxster. In the winter they could drive up the side of a block of ice. But the road feel was dreadful. I switched to more sporty tires and the road feel was much better but all of a sudden there was a real risk of getting stuck in snow/slush.

It would be good to find something in between those two.

I have them on my Audi S6 and love them.

I have M2s on my boxster. They are ok. OTOH they are also 12 years old!

I would also suggest Vreedstein SnowTracs
