love the look on their faces in the snow

Although I have a Lexus SUV and a Saab, I find that I am using my C4s with 4 Blizzard snow tires more and more in the snow. We recently had well over a foot and today it is -1 degrees.


The car is great in the snow! When I pulll up along side other cars, they look puzzled, as if to say "you can use that in the winter?"

Then the light changes and I am gone! No skidding, no slipping, just 4 wheel traction, snow tires and electronics doing their magic!
Great fun, (FWIT, the heater is also great.)

(Of course I do use common sense with a $90K car)

Me too ...

Mal,

I too find that my C4S with the Dunlop M2 are unbelieveable in snow. The tires plus the AWD really are incredible. I agree that I worry more about others driving around me versus my car's ability to navigate through the snow.

And yes, the looks you sometimes get are priceless!!

P.S. Where do you live in Ohio? I'm in Cincinnati.
