Finally Some Snow For My Michelins

[steviej]

We got a bit of a nor'eastah today. Dumped about 6 inches of soft fluffy snow that turned to wet heavy pack by late night.

I have been hoping for some of this crap to see what my Michelin Pilot Sport Exalto A/S would do.

At first I was displeased when the snow was just a dusting, because it seemed that the VSC and traction control was constantly engaging. However, every one one the road was spinning their tires, all except the AWD vehicles.

My displeasure soon changed to satisfaction once the snow got a little deeper. The Exaltos bit right in and held their own quite nicely.

So overall, I am very pleased with this choice of tire.

I have the exalto's on my GS300 and they're great, the snow today provided a good proving ground even with the frozen rain and sleet that made things more ice than snow.

Several members with the XT (turbo) Foresters put those Michelins on & they echo your comments Steve. B) The price of those tires I find are quite reasonable too.

It snowed again while I was at karate. I came out to about an inch of accumulation.

Once again, they held there own.

Funny, I have had more snow in March than in all of November to February.
