Wow I forgot how much this car floates around at higher speeds on winter tires. I'm assuming this is normal, but is a bit scary (need to adjust my driving even on dry roads).

How's everyone else's experience since putting winters on?
Bridgestone W series are not a stable tire. They use multicell rubber (like the first studless winter tires from the 70's) for the top 50% of the tread then the last 50% is just an all season rubber. They foist around when new and skate around when worn. Just a marketing man's tire.

Replace those 'stones with proper winter tires from Nokian, Continental, Pirelli or Michelin if they are even half worn.

Heck even Dunlop or Hankook make better winter tires than Bridgestone.
