So you mentioned they weren't good in snow. I was curious, is that true, they aren't much good in snow, even though mine hopefully will never see snow ( don't want salt from the roads on my summer wheels).
Thanks

I had Michelin Pilot Sport A/S (235-45R17) on my M5. Don't even try them on snow. The M couldn't climb a frosted doughnut with them on, LSD or not. Damned scary rubber on snow or ice but good on cold, dry pavement.

Hey, not all of us can simply put on our summer CAR, Ian.

I've been thinking about it, but not brave enough so far. Usually mid-April there's not too much risk of more snow. Forecast says we still may get a flurry on Sunday.

Hi Randy.
This is what I use for my wheels. It is called Wheelwax and I get it from this site: http://www.wheelwax.ca/products/10001.html

For my tires I use Zaino Z16 Its the Zaino Perfect Tire Gloss :

Speaking of summers, I think I need to get mine balanced. I get a vibration from the steering wheel at around 120 km/h. The stock wheels with all seasons are fine. Any good places in the Scarborough / Markham area.
