Snow!

Roundown · 12-12-2016, 08:16 AM

Big part of the country getting covered in the stuff the last day or so.

Haven't had any near me yet... so for those who have, let's see some pics!

Drove a loaner X5 on all seasons up to the ski areas on Sunday. Such a tease...

Last year's fun in ice:

Still with my carbonblack one. New video to come in a few weeks with the new doningtongrey one.

Some more from that day:

First time running around on the DWS06s in snow. They were quite competent in snow, a little bit less so in ice/slush. I could feel the width of the rears when the car was trying to hook up in slush. I look forward to comparing with the OE winters when I put them on in a few weeks.

Some snow in Denver on Friday night. So much fun...just running errands. Pretty happy with the OEM snows.

OEM snow package is working great for me in our one storm of the year in the PNW.

Anyone think the throttle feels a little sensitive in the snow? I'd kinda like a dumbed down throttle setting. Far easier to light 'em up in this than anything I've had in the past. Manageable and fun, but gas mileage suffers more than normal if you can imagine that...

I am running 275/40/20 and 315/25/20. These are factory winter runflat Pirelli Ice and Snow tires for F15 with sport package (and they fit on OE wheels).
