Last week I drove Silverfox to work, weather said it was not supposed to get bad until Friday night, so left my truck at home.
But snow and ice came thursday night and friday, with the new michelin tires it surprised me how good she was from nashville TN to southern IL.
Kentucky is always the worst, they never plow.
Many people in the ditch (cars, trucks and semis) and seen many people spinning and getting loose, but with my manual trans keeping rpm low with the new tires it really impressed me.
I was curious since the michelins are run flats so can not air down, but they performed betteer than the gmax, dws, dsw 06, good years and sumitos's.
159k miles and runs great.
The wide 285's work great on snow / ice Co ered roads, always like more to contact the better and more bitting edges, narrow tires do not help when there is nothing g to get down to.
See alot of people do not know the difference in tires, and running summer only tires in winter, and there veichle is a handful, summer only tires are not good under 40°
