Now that Winter is over...
 

How did everybody (no beaters!) do in the snow?
I'm assuming snow tires, so this is more of a handling question than a tire question. :P

Winter may not be over yet in Calgary. I drove daily through the winter on Subaru steel wheels and continental extreme winter contacts. Car handles fine in nearly all conditions. Only time I was a bit concerned was when the snow as deeper than my front lip. I imagined the terror of having it sheared off by a block of ice.

Never missed a beat. Great car in the snow.

Ran mine all winter didn't even swap the tires out.
There were a few OMG moments but all and all no issues

probably will have had more fun in it during the winter than the summer, and felt calm and confident in it with snow tires during commutes in the couple big storms

yay for unlimited, guiltless (for tires sake) drifting during fresh snowfalls

Glad I don't live in Guelph. Enough people with all-seasons can't stop in time, never mind summers.

I'm surprised anybody would torture their summer tires by exposing them to cold temperatures for that period of time.

The Weather Network says it's going to get up to 22C here tomorrow... Can't wait! Not that the 20C today was that bad. :P

I made it through the winter on stock rims with Hankook i-pike snow tires. I went too aggressive on the tire and they're straight up terrible in the dry, so much squirm and very little traction in aggressive driving, but they got me through the winter with no problems whatsoever.

Can't wait to get the summer rims/tires on. Thinking April 13th even though I'm pretty sure it's done snowing.

More snow today in GTA! Probably won't be much of a build-up though, just flurries :)

Hardly any. Saw a BRZ on the way home from work just now. Man, I gotta resist the temptation until I save up enough money! Haha.

Still waiting on my wheels to be done at the powdercoater, and then warm enough weather consistently for the summers. Can't wait at all, done with snow tires :D

Winter was great. Have General Arctic Altimax on stock rims. Keeping them on until its consistently above 7*C. This time of year is way too unpredictable.

Winter may be over, but...

Winter is Coming.

x-ice 3s for me on steelies, drove through the two major snow storms we had in TO this year, first one I went out in the morning no issues on the road cutting through accumulation until I got to the parking lot, couldn't get my car into a spot cuz the pile ups were too high and I didn't feel like turning my front lip into a snow plow.. at least I never got stuck?

Otherwise with the thin layer of snow on the ground, most fun I've ever had :)

I totally agree have these and love but the only drawback is they are louder then the FR-S with Hankooks but definitely better

Should I change to summer tires myself or spend the $40?
