I slapped on a set of 205/ 50VR17 dunlop winter sport M2's mounted and balanced on sport edition alloys from tire rack($1050 shipped) and blazed past everything on the road as if I were in an all wheel drive at over 100 mph in our first winter weather storm this year (I am not insane, these tires in this size instil great confidence, and I was late for a christmas party) consisting of ice covered in a few inches of snow. It was almost like driving in the rain, but with more drifting (fun!)
