Default You live in Michigan, above Detroit.

Suck it up until April!

;-P

Sunny and near-70 here today, the grass has greened up nicely, and will have to be cut for the second time this weekend. Not to rub it in, or anything.

Default Mine are, Nero m+s; W rated.....

If they were Y or Z, I don't think they could be all season tires. They have a bias toward, summer use but can still handle in the snow. Its a cake walk in the snow with snow tires, but these do okay in siuation like we had yesterday.

They are very good tires, handle very well, stop very well, ride comfort is good, and they arent too expensive either.<ul><li><a href="http://www.us.pirelli.com/en_US/tyres/catalog/tyre_category.jhtml?catid=US_ASUHP&amp;productid=9 853">http://www.us.pirelli.com/en_US/tyres/catalog/tyre_category.jhtml?catid=US_ASUHP&amp;productid=9 853</a</li></ul>
