This is such a great comparo of the CC2 with the PS4 tires (all season and summer) including their winter tire. Love this guy. Worth a watch.
DWS need more pressure. I run 3psi over Yokohama V601 I use on track. Once you find right pressure, they are really good. I slid with them in dry and no sequel of any sort. They are absolute monster in rain.
I run on DWS06 I think (have snows now, so been some time since checking, 42front and 38 back.What size and PSI do you run on the E90? I was considering replacing my Pzero AS+ with DWS06+ or Pzero AS+3
I was really surprised how Blizzak WS90 perform in wet.You are correct. Imagine if a person goes skiing. They really are needed.
I felt when driving on snow packed side streets this week, that the proper tires are in my shed. But I still want to get away with it, because it's a real sacrifice too, on top of wearing the snow tires out, if it's just warm and no snow. I think snows perform badly in rain. I guess one reason for my irrational decision is on both cars, the snows are skinnier than the summers, making their performance better in snow, and worse in no snow, when compared to the summer tires.
100% agree, for diving on actual snow/ice "real winter" ares, that's all that matters and snow tires are the winner all day every day, I don't think anyone ever disuputes that in these posts and I've considered it a "duh" for people that live where you have a real winter and regular snowy/icy conditions.I watched that some time ago.
One thing he said, in the beginning, is very, VERY true: In snow, snow tires allow you much more confidence and easily save the day.
Let's not forget, we pay a hefty amount of money for these tires, or like me, for three sets, so they can save you that one time!
With winter tires, going forward is IMO, absolutely irrelevant. Which tire can get faster to 0-60 is absolutely irrelevant in snow.
Which tire will stop fastest, handle best, and have the best recovery grip is what really matters.
CC2 is a very good proposition to many geographical regions, but for real winter, only real snow tires.
If I lived in VA, I would still run snow tires. But, that is just bcs. I would find some ski slope with good bar that has good, cheap beer and food100% agree, for diving on actual snow/ice "real winter" ares, that's all that matters and snow tires are the winner all day every day, I don't think anyone ever disuputes that in these posts and I've considered it a "duh" for people that live where you have a real winter and regular snowy/icy conditions.
Myself having gone through two sets of DWS06 (not the '+' iteration), can confirm they are dangerous in the snow. Once you've switched to full winters, nothing else compares. All-seasons in the midwest should be outlawed for winter use. Stay away from me on the road whoever you are.Well, I’ve driven both tires in the snow. Bought two sets of the Continental. They were OK in the snow. Not great, just OK.
Wild. I have the complete opposite experience with my X-Ice Snows.It was 6C yesterday with pouring rain, driving on the X-Ice Snow, the ABS was activating even in moderate braking. It caught me off guard quite a bit.
If your use case is just going into town occasionally with snow on the ground, you can probably get away with all-seasons. My use case is regular driving through all kinds of midwest snow, several days or even weeks out of the year. I'd be playing with fire using all-seasons.You are correct. Imagine if a person goes skiing. They really are needed.
