Try it with winter tires

Are you saying it got worse with winter tires? I dunno I had my wonderful experience with slushyness this morning and....needless to say I made it. These tires are getting off the car this week. I knew it would happen soon but was not expecting snow last night.

Otherwise the tires do what they need to do. I am going to run them down until I need new summers and put 225's on there instead of the 215s.

There is a HUGE difference from the stock tires to winters. When I went from the stock ones to my Altimax winters it felt like I was going from the BRZ to a Camry

I'm on General Altimax and I'm having a blast!

Accelerating is a little lagged, but the BRZ picks up speed quickly and is very poised on the ice. Even if you slip a little it's easy to correct and continue on.

Marcoscrdo · 01-23-2013, 03:37 PM

Finished break-in period and learning rpm's ordered hood struts, washed car the other day was awesome may get a cover because snow will make it dirty again lol

Bones36 · 01-26-2013, 05:41 PM

Tint and Clear Bra

Beyer Subaru · 01-26-2013, 05:48 PM

Installed an LED bulb in the dome light and trunk light. I hadn't planned on doing this mod as it seemed kinda "ricey" to me. The bulbs came installed in dealer trade car that we received and we had to put the OE style bulbs back in.

So I swippy swapped the bulbs back to OE spec. I will reccomend them to others that want a crisper brighter light on the interior.

edward · 01-26-2013, 06:29 PM

I went drifting in a parking lot with a fresh layer of snow

Full drift at around 7-10 mph on the stock (slippery) tires.
