So we drive the exact same car and live in the same city (might have seen you drive towards S Limestone on Nicholasville today?) and I just assumed the cars had the same Primacys the older models got, so I got snow tires last week. Now that I see that we actually have all seasons I might go get them put back on.

this car is useless in snow on stock tires... lol

Had a blizzard last week before i had a chance to swap to my Xi3s... so i was making a right turn out of my workplace parking lot, instead of the usual drift i was expecting, it made a complete 360... i was like yep.... this is going to be a LONGGG drive home. (in all fairness, think i hit a patch of black ice or something)

3 1/2 hours later... averaging 10km/hr. I made it.

Now i'm on Michelin X-ice 3's.. and if i didn't know any better i would think this was a WRX with the way it handles in snow..

good tires make the world of a difference
