BombshellSteph Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I was wondering if you threw those on and got to use them today. This weather is crazy. The snow started earlier than they had projected and it's still coming down. I think I have about 3 inches or so on the ground here. Debating going out to see how things are on a random late night run to the Walmart on Eddie Dowling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I was debating removing the tune for the winter, have you contemplated that Night Hawk? I figured, like you, I would try the snow with it, and then decide. Like you, I enjoy having fun in the car, but sometimes I just want to get home from work with no drama.......

Night Hawk Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I have not had any issues yet I always run mobil -1 93 octane and use my right foot and good common sense as my governor. I would like to limit the amount of times I flash the CPU, as its bad enough I will need a tune upgrade for downpipes next season lol. Last night the roads were very slick and I tested it in various ways with no issues to report. As the season continues if I sense even a slight problem ill post it up. How did the Wally World run go Steff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on those, after running blizzaks in the past on my Mach-1, yes rwd ,bolt on ,bright orange Mach-1 during a full normal local winter and not getting stuck, I'll never go back, IMHO. If you know what size Craig's list usually has great deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I used Blizzak's on my old, 2007, heavily modified Dodge Charger during the winter months while motoring around in Chi-Town. LOVED THEM :thumb: I distinctly recall on one occasion, when we had a crapload of ice here during an ice storm, literally a sh!t load of cars in the ditches, involved in accidents, etc. Me? I kept motoring along, slowly mind you, but I got back and forth to work w/o any issues whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 MXV4s are generally good. I have them on our Caddy with admittedly smaller rims/tires. Also have a new set on the MKS, but this is my first real winter. If they are as good as they are on the Caddy, plus AWD, I will be fine. If not, I am getting some 19s and Blizzaks. Folks on the MKS forum report that they do decently in the snow.....which is why I decided to try them out first before spending money on winter rims/tires.

mjhpadi Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I was debating removing the tune for the winter' date=' I would try the snow with it, and then decide. Like you, I enjoy having fun in the car, but sometimes I just want to get home from work with no drama.......[/quote'] I haven't removed the tune since it got installed. Just drive with a light right foot and you shouldn't have any problems. Although, I must add, I haven't taken the SHO out in the snow, it's a luxury I can afford since I am retired, so if it's bad weather I can take our Explorer or the Sable (our beatermobile).

How did the Wally World run go Steff?[/quote'] Typical nightmare... I hate going there. I can't understand for the life of my why people leave their cart in a parking space when the next spot over is the cart return. I saw a Prius literally in 4 spaces last night and contemplated leaving a note but decided against it. I go up there a lot at night just for my sanity and to pick up a few things for the house here or there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
