Sorry but I think if anything ought to be considered politically incorrect, it’s farts.

Bought one when the other wasn’t available and then the other when it was. What do you think?

I love my PS4S tires but they are lousy in the cold. As for the prospect of hitting black ice on them? Would rather not have to think about that as I think it wouldn’t be pretty. With cooler weather coming I put some winter tires on my car a couple of weeks ago, Hankook Winter icept evo2s...

Most American car with a most Canadian engine… :)

Another thing I’m curious about: If this tire or any other M + S tire truly is as good as a winter tire for winter conditions, then why wouldn’t the manufacturer put the three peak symbol on it that designates it as such? After all, there are many places where it’s required. Here in Canada, they...

Curious how these compare to the best winter tires. As I’ve mentioned a couple of times, there are better all seasons out there, but generally speaking they grip less well than winters in cold temps. If a back to back test against a good winter tire showed that these could do the job, i would...

Actually, Ira, studded snow tires would do very much to help on ice. Never heard of motorcycle ice racing? :)

You sure are going to do a heck of a lot better on high performance winter tires on ice than on any set of all seasons designed for Camry owners who prefer convenience over getting the best performance and safety, which requires two sets of tires if you live in any part of the world that...

This! The cold weather months aren’t the time of year to be thinking about how fast you can go but arriving safely after a stress-free drive. Take it fron Dana Pants, don’t be lulled into a false sense of security buying all seasons, get the right tire for the task, get winter tires.

If we are speaking generally, and we are, this is absolutely incorrect. The main issue is not snow but temperature. Winter tires use rubber compounds that are better at lower temperatures. Individual M+ S tires may approach them in their cold weather capabilities but, generally speaking, they...

Freezing is not the defining point. The usual recommendation is to switch to winters when you can expect temps in your area to regularly get below 7C/45F. Granted, good all seasons will do better than summer tires, but not by much. And both are shite in really wintery weather. All that being...

Translation into Fahrenheit:

Last week it was rainy and around 10C and the Michelins were feeling pretty slippy. That and some nighttime lows in the 2s and 3s coming up in the Toronto area this week has got me making the switch earlier than I expected. Nothing to report yet - it got to a sunny 16 today - except that the...

Get some nice rims and winter tires. Lots of info and advice on here about that, including plenty of advice about why you shouldn’t settle for “all seasons” (cause they ain’t). Just do some searches.

Totally different breed of pony but also looking great in black was this rental I enjoyed while visiting the same city a couple of weeks ago.

Not mine but took a pic because I thought this GT350 was a drop dead handsome beast of a 6th gen Mustang.

All you other guys in and around T.O. seem to have been a lot luckier than me. In contrast, I’ve been warned by cops three times in the course of less than a year, as I mentioned here before. The first time, on Kingston Road in the easternmost part of the old city of Toronto, the cop actually...

Sure do. Taken when I picked it up to record some scuff marks on the bumper but I think it shows what you’re looking for.

Here’s the only shot that I took of it from the front. It is a looker, isn’t it? I don’t think you can get the Pony Package with a V8, can you?
