winter #2 coming right up - will report on wear Posted by JohnA [Email] (#426) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JohnA) on Tue, 6 Oct 2009 08:51:52 In Reply to: let us know how you like them over time..., James, Tue, 6 Oct 2009 04:16:16 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I'm in Calgary. We had a lot of snow (for Calgary) last winter but it gets beaten down into hard ice in the neighborhood. When it does snow, it's soft, powdery stuff compared to, say, the Maritimes, where I'm from.
I'm impressed with these Yokos on the Saab (downsized rims) as they're so soft. They have some sort of special polymer(?) surface (not grits) which adheres.
And the ride: Even the coldest day provides the smoothest bump-swallowing ride through chunky ice; like silk; and the tires slow/stop fast w/little/no slippage and corner sure-footedly.
I'm running X-Ice on the other car and they're nice too. Looking ahead, I think I will be replacing these X-Ices with something else due to wear. I'm on the road with the other car - a lot.
