Snow Sticks to this car or it sticks to snow...
So got some real winter driving in with the Blizzaks. Love them.
The car was predictable in snow. When I did induce a slide with control on and off the car did exactly what I thought it would... Which is way important. The only thing is that the headlights are not throwing enough heat off to keep the snow from sticking to the headlight covers. I wonder is there is something that I could apply to prevent this. A pleasure in the snow for sure.... |

I might hedge and put some money on a record breaking mild winter. Help recoup some of the winter tyre and wheel cost

Decent storm rolling through this coming weekend. I am sure I will find some fun and grab a few pics...
The washers not too effective and I am using a deicer... |

I went with the Blizzak LM60. Not an RTF but it has a higher speed rating than the ws70 and came in the OEM 19" size.
I think it is a great snow tire. |
