I came out at 5pm to the parking lot and it's a fluffy snowstorm (thanks for the disinfo Environment Canada). All I had was new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires and absolutely no experience with RWD stick shift driving in the snow. Took off in 2nd gear and quickly into 3rd and then 4th all the way home from Markham to Scarborough @ 30ish km/h (car becomes unstable when it hits 40km/h). The ass kept swinging out to the right (VSC & VSC Sport made no diff.) and freaked everybody out so they all gave me plenty of room. Did stalled at Midland and Finch cuz the snow was too thick, so I looked like a loser going thru the intersection mad slow sideways lol! Made it home in one piece no sweat really. Hardest part was actually making up the driveway and into the garage with zero traction so did take me a min or two.
17" Michelin Pilot Alpin on another set of STI rims next year for sure.  |
Winter tires will make a huge difference. I have Michelin X-Ice Xi2 on. Commuted about the same time as you, about a half an hour in Markham during the snow. When I wasn't stuck behind someone slow, I was travelling over 60km/h completely stable. My car and everyone's seems to slide out to the right, but eventually you learn to control the throttle and clutch so that you don't slide out anymore when accelerating.
