1000+ Miles on new winters across the US

[wtiger127]

Just this past weekend, I traveled across the US from Fort Erie over to Montreal and then back into Toronto Canada (map attached).

I must of put around 1000+ KM on my winter tires going thru all type of weather areas. From snow to slush and rain I must tell you my winter tire package is very good.

Attached, you can see the aerodynamics of the car as the dirt hit it at around 65mph and about 130kmph at times.

If you have these rims or plan on getting them, you can see from these pictures the way in which dirt builds up in certain areas. I was expecting the other parts to be more dirty than the internal part of the rim. however, it turn out to be a little different. Seems the inner par is more scattered than a solid build up. Which I think will make these easier to clean.

The car pics can also show how the air dynamics work on the car. I was also getting around 7.0 per 100 liters on HWY. That is, I managed to get about 640KM per full 53 liter tank. Which I think was pretty good.

My winter tire setup is found here;

If you are looking for some specific info, please [pm] me.

Anyways, I thought you might enjoy my journey.

Thank you!

That is the exact same set I'm ordering tomorrow, except 18s.
It's great to read a favorable review.

650KM on a tank? That's very good.
