Federal Himilaya Ice Radials Are Awesome!

A month ago I installed the tires. I just went thru our first major snow and cold event. Temps. down to 1 freaking degree farenheit over night
The car was perfect on roads that weren't even plowed in the morning!
Start from a stop in 2nd, pretend there is an egg between my foot and the accelerator! I was worried about snow driving, not anymore
The heater on our cars is terrific after a 5 min. warm up! Tire size-P275/40/20. Wheels- Touren TR60 Gunmetal 20x8.5 pics.

Great Tire I hear , I have the Blizzak tires and they are awesome also. The misinformation on driving these cars in the snow is enormous , All it takes is a set of snows and you will be king of the road

That tread looks something fierce. I am so glad I don't have to shell out money for snow tires and wheels during the winter. Sometimes living in east Texas has its perks... But then again, I love cold weather, and wish it was icy here all the time. You really miss out on a lot of beauty (at least during the winter) here...

I envy you in Texas cuz you don't have to worry about Jackasses driving like it's GTA in snow! But I do live in Canada's Napa Valley So I guess there's perks up here!

Yeah, you're right. We have to worry about JACKASSES driving like jackasses in their old, jacked up trucks, blowing black smoke like they're "cool" or something. They look like idiots.

Great to hear they work well for you. Curious though, is 1 degree F cold for a morning in BC, Canada? Hell, last week we had -34 degrees F several mornings here in north central Montana and windchill in the -50 degree F range!!! I know, its a dry cold though, that's exactly what you think when you step outside and it feels like a million little needles poking into your exposed skin!!! LOL Got to love winter in MT!!!
