    I had a Camaro back in the 80's (Who didn't) and it was only great in the snow with a set of snow tires and chain's.

    I have Blizzaks on 15" 8-spokes on my S. Winter driving was never so much fun!:Thumbsup:

    I got a set of DWS slightly used for $36 each installed. They are better but they are not snow tires. But then I've only taken the MINI out 3 times in the last 2 weeks.

    I noticed something very strange with these wheels on, torque steer. With the Hayame 18" I only noticed it in really tight turns with lots of throttle. If I'm reading the research right it has to do with a difference in off set.

    I have a set of Blizzak LM-60's on my S. It's amazing how well they handle the snow. Best snows I've ever had on any car....

    The Continental Extreme Winter Contacts were great on the Clubman in the 3-4 inches of snow we got the the other day.

    Tomorrow will be the real acid test in the 8-12 inches we are getting overnight.:Thumbsup::cool:

    Mark if you ever drive on dedicated winter tires you are never going to be happy with all seasons again. Me thinks it may be your skills rather than your tires working for you. :)

    Those are Continental's dedicated winter tires.
    Continental USA Car / Light Truck / SUV - ExtremeWinterContact

    But thanks for the compliment:D:beer 40+ years of driving on the winter Canadian Prairie helped:Thumbsup:

    Have Blizzaks fitted to my Cooper 15" rims. Great tires, snow is no problem (unless it is too deep, and jacks the M1N1 off the ground!!!!!!!).
