Freezing...some winterpictures
Just came back from taking a few photo's and -1 Celsius(30.2 F) is pretty cold this morning (thanks Al Gore and Greta)
The new Contis TS860S do their best but traction issues galore Got rid of the PA's and got me some Apex wheels. Cheers Robin |

If you're going to drive it home highly recommend you take a couple of PSI out of the tires for added grip. Better safe than...

It's not ideal, but it's totally doable. Summer tires stop in a shorter distance in the cold than either all-seasons or winter tires so long as the road is dry. Sounds counteractive, but there are actual real world tests that actually demonstrate this. Summer tires however are dangerous in the cold if the roads are wet or have any snow on them, in that instance you should not drive the car at all.

No they just fit perfectly, I have the Blue Brakes. Apex 19 inch 8.5j 245/35 R19 V square Conti TS860S. Just a tad 'bigger' tyre sidewall than the oem PA 235/35 19s square setup. Cheers Robin Last edited by Robin_NL; 12-05-2019 at 03:10 AM.. |

Exactly, look at the Sportauto M2Comp laptime @ Hockenheim GP, PSS but an outside temp of just 1 degrees Celsius(zero is freezing temp) almost freezing, when a PSS is warm it's super grippy on dry roads. Conti TS860 are generally seen|(overhere, German tests fwiw, because Conti is German lol) as the 'best' overal wintertyres (just like Alpins) But on a dry winter road nothing beats a PSS in this case. There's a lot of concessions with wintertyres: braking distance/traction on dry roads/sloppy road/steering feel, TS860 has it all(vs PSS) Cheers Robin |
