I will have to save up a LOT of money this winter for PP fitting rims + true winter performance tires. I don't want steel. I go as fast in winter 98% of the time as I do in summer. I wonder if I should mount and dismount the tires for two seasons. People are edgy about that. I do want to keep that lateral grip and cornering in the winter next year.
If you drive this car in the winter the same as the summer you will end up looking for a new one. No winter performance tire made will save you if you swing that ass out too fast or too far on a snowy road or icy road. Not saying you can't have fun but you will need to reign things in quite a bit. It ain't no Mini.
