Which Pirellis? Posted by Ari [Email] (#2847) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Ari) on Mon, 20 Dec 2004 07:50:13 In Reply to: Speaking of which... advice please..., egsAero, Mon, 20 Dec 2004 07:07:20 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I've run P4000 Super Touring M&S on my cars for years. When the tires are fresh (say under 10-15K miles) they're pretty good for casual snow tire driving. On a fresh set, I drove 60 miles through 6 inches of fresh snow in my '88 9000T. Even with some tread wear, I'd say they're OK for careful driving in light snow conditions.
I have a set of serious snows on the 'need to drive everyday' cars, but I have no fear in taking out the car with the P4000M&S in a little snow if I have to. With 3 cars (4 if you count the Sonett) and two drivers, at least one has to sit quiet.
Most of the P3XX, 4XX, 4XXX in M&S are decent. They aren't going to be slicks. As with any tire, and anytime you're trying to acclimate to driving in snow, find yourself a nice open parking lot (watch out for curbs!) and try out braking and turning.
