Car felt more planted, had less of that floaty feeling.
Only reason I have not thrown on my snow tires is that I'm hoping to do one more big mod this year, and then hit a track, run a number, and then put on the snows.  |
Keep in mind that summer tire compounds become rock hard and provide greatly reduced traction in cold temps. Might want to consider cheap winter tires...
