Default First trip in the snow with the LM-25s.....

I drove 12 miles or so .. I didn't slide at all but I was driving VERY cautiously, not testing the tires. I want to wait till I have time to get to a parking lot and see what my car's normal driving limits are.

When I got out of my car I felt the tracks in the snow and no wonder it grips so well, the snow was so packed together, it is like the snow tires create a "chain tire track" if you know what I mean ... aannyyway this isn't much of review but they got me home safe and sound through backroads and highways all with snow on them.

Default Glad to hear that. I've got a set on order.

Hoping it doesn't snow again until I get them mounted.

Default Wow, I attempted a fast right turn in a parking lot and the car was wishy washy like it should be...

on snow.. but it kept going in the direction i pointed it ... totally listened to me .. that doesn't mean I would drive crazy on the roads though simply for the fact that it isnt worth risking hurting the car, but now i feel better about driving in it if it snows .. i always think i'll fishtail right away but i've realized this isnt the case with quattro and the LM-25s.

Default The all-seasons I ran for the last two years were not very good at all. Sounds like the 25's

get the job done right. That's a big relief since I absolutely hate driving in the snow.

Loads of fun, even at half throttle to 4k rpm for the break in.
