Here's another test.

Note they compared to summer or performance A/S tires, and they still outperformed the winter tires on cold, dry pavement.

It would be a cool test to do, but no way I am putting $1000 in an uncontrolled test. I would love if me, fastar1 and UofA were wrong since I have winter tires anyways.
The question isn't snow or ice, it's cold, dry pavement. The stuff we drive on 95% of the winter. If the test conditions are as you say, I'll take your challenge.
Fly. Airplanes have all seasons
Can't need to drive around NYC to Jersey to CT
Can I borrow yours?

You guys have to record this with a gopro or something.
You do you plan on ensuring that you both hit the brakes at roughly the same time? Just hitting the brakes at a cone is a little bit uncontrolled.

He's out there now with the two cars checking if he can win first.
:lmao:
Sorry can't do tomorrow, hard to believe but i have a life outside of gtam
You don't understand my point & I'm not gonna argue with you. I've tried that before & it's like arguing with a brick wall.
Besides, if I wanted an argument I'd get married...
... let the feminists nail me
Word to the wise... just because old members are doing it, doesn't mean new members can do it too. Old members have paid the price by bannings & infractions.
Wrong assumption. You never heard of motorcyclists trying to run car tires?
Winter tires are going to squirm and perform marginally less than all seasons on regular bare pavement.
Is the difference in vehicle handling and performance noticeable to the average commuter?
Winter has rain, slush, ice, snow with different amounts of accumulation and often different conditions in the same trip.
Now how about the difference in vehicle handling and performance comparing winter tires vs all seasons?
If you keep your vehicle long enough to replace tires, why wouldn't you get winter tires?
You get essentially the same mileage running two sets of tires and have the benefit of tires that work better for the conditions they are designed for.
Some independent study from a University of Alaska from the late nineties isn't a great source to dismiss the benefits of winter tires.
A lot has changed in design over 15-20 years in winter tires.
Most folks that argue they don't need winter tires are those that don't have experience with them. They account their personal experience with all season and driving skills and point to marketing as a source of propaganda.
Not a problem.
If you don't notice sarcasm.........I really don't give a shiii.....lol
Go on now, it's ok. Those folks with running all seasons and driving like champs through the winter are just too awesome.
I'll just buy into the marketing buzz and waste my cash like the rest of those silly sheeple
Nothing more to see here.
Carry on.

Your point is exactly the same as all the other snow tire advocates; they're better on snow and ice.
Now when you stop pouting about being misunderstood, maybe you can take a second to try and understand that snow and ice represents maybe 5% of the driving you do in the winter.
Well my 15 minutes are up.
Trying to avoid the banning by staying pg.
Not here for debates, just enjoying the entertainment.
Good looking out, though.
I don't know, being as how the test was done on a go-cart.
They should use a real car for tests. The guy might be leaning back in one set of tests, and not the other.
