It's that time of year again=winter tire opinion
#16
I use Blizzaks in the winter. Compared to my summer PP's, they are louder and don't do as well in the rain. In dry weather they stick remarkably well for winter tires. Also, they ride stiffer than the PP's. I'm very pleased with their performance on snow and ice - I even passed a Volvo stuck going uphill last winter. Had to swerve off the beaten path to make the pass but I was smiling all the way.

I just bought, but have not yet installed, a set of Blizzak LM25 on my spare 17 inch twists. I'd originally ordered Pilot Sport A/S, but decided if I was going to have a set of winter wheels, then they should be real winter wheels. It's probably overkill for my climate. In the end, the weather should be the deciding factor.

driving in snow is a blast. I have GT3 replica wheels coming, leaning toward Dunlop winter SP. Still on the fence about the width and profile. I believe Porsche has a recommedation, trying to find it.

I bought replica wheels and Blizzak LM25's too. I need to get them mounted, but I can't wait to see how this car handles in the poor weather. I would imagine anything deeper than half foot on the ground will make me become a snow plow.

I live in MN also and I had never even thought about driving my C2 during the winter except on dry cold days. So, Salt does not hurt these cars rust wise? I understand the salt damage from chunks after a snow but this may be a fun option for nice winter days. Mine is not a C4 so does that make a HUGE difference? I would imagine that since the engine is right above the drive wheels, that would give it fantastic traction. Your opinions?
