Strangely, (or perhaps not?) my car is accelerating very much noticeably better with my blizzaks ws80s compared to my MPSS. I can't pinpoint exactly why. Obviously I don't feel nearly as planted with the snows, and cornering is with less confidence, but acceleration is putting more of a smile on my face than the entire summer.

Any thoughts?

215/45/17 blizzaks on stock wheels vs 225/45/17 mpss on xxr 550s

21.3 xxr weight
vs stock 20.1

tires weigh the same.

Side note....I don't love my MPSS. even simple turning out of my driveway feels restricted and i don't get that with snows.
