c4s+Blizzak+snow=awesome!

I just tried my 2004 c4s with Blizzak M25 snow tires in the blizzard we are having here now and it was unbelievable, the car went eveywhere, no problem at all, I drove thru many inches of unplowed snow, up and down hills and around turns, the car just went where I aimed it

These tires are also quiet, handle great on the dry pavement and obviously, I am very pleased!

Don't get too cocky with the car and tires because it'll bite you in the *** before you know it.

They actually make pretty good cars in the snow as long as the tires can get grip. Nice to see someone practicing what we preach! Have fun, but be careful as Wardhog says (such a pessimist, he is). Just because the tires get twice the grip doesn't make you twice the driver in the snow.

Be safe, all.

When I drive my C4S in the snow, it's not my car I worry about, it's the other POS on the road hitting me.

YES! the C4S in light snow is great, better than all the 4X4 SUVs that I came across especially in the corners..... the expression on the face of their drivers is... well... PRICELESS!!! but be careful, you just don't know what's under the snow.

I agree, I have confidence in the car, but not in the guy along side me in his '78 Buick with slick tires!

Thumbs up

Had great expeience with my C4S and Pirelli 240 snows.......in fact a jeep tried to pass me on the left the other night during a first time messy snow and spun out just missing me, while the p-car kept going at 45 mph........he was alright as he backed out of a smalll ditch on side of the road...car was very stable and accelerated fine without slipping anytime I wanted from stop or go........very pleased...........

I totally agree to you, even on my c2 with snow tires on is okay to drive in winter, but just very very worry who's behind you.
