Did you not read a single ws-50 or ws-60 review? Did you listen to what we said about speed ratings?

This is my first set of snow tires on any car. I don't drive it aggressively; that may by physically impossible in this thing. But it's funny how dry weather traction reminds me a little bit of slick-weather driving on all-seasons. It feels like the wheel can be cocked a few degrees while still going straight forward. Can't wait until the skies dump a few inches on us. |

I will not get below H (and most likely V) rated tires. I think the super soft Q-rated are for 2wd people in the great white north.

I've got half of that formula, anyway. And on the handful of great white-like days down here, I can't be stuck at home. Maybe I should've bought a snowmobile that can hit 55 mph.

I've been driving aggressively on dry pavement, so I understand the rears would wear first, but I don't understand why the centers wore out so quickly. I'm running 34 PSI all around, and my rear alignment is zero toe, with nearly zero camber. Is 34 PSI still too high? These things have soft sidewalls. If I go any lower, they'll fold over completely and I'll be riding around on the wheels. Last edited by rumatt; 01-26-2008 at 12:48 PM. |
