Summer tires, winter weather

[Brittania]

I’d really like to get some Michelin ps4 A/S, I had them on my challenger and they were incredible. But tire discounters doesn’t seem to have listed in the factory tire/rim size. They do have 275 19R 30’s. I think.

I have the PS4 A/S 275/35/19 on stock wheels and stock suspension. Great grip and great ride quality with the extra sidewall.

Ok so these fit then, maybe I’ll have a look and see if they got a set. I don’t feel like I need to go balls deep on THE best set of A/S tires. I really just want them to get me through winter

Live in the Dallas area where it is currently 20 degrees, just working from home this week as I hear mixed feedback on driving on them in cold temps. Thursday expect some winter precip, would not consider driving in that in anything around here.

What I’m hoping for is after they clear the snow and the salt is all down, that it’ll be fine. My job is really close no hills. But if my tires are going “crack” like some other posters have mentioned, I don’t wanna fuck these tires up and them be useless in 10k miles

Yea, same here. Only at 7700 miles but will be replacing with the Continental all weather tires when the time comes. Just need to nurse it through this winter, luckily I could be WFH full time if I desired, just don't like it.

Allen, NE suburban Dallas. It is 20 degrees now and not expected to get out of the 30's all week. Thursday they are calling for winter precip, some more extreme forecasts say 5" of snow. A year ago it got down to 8 degrees but did not have the ITS then and was actually in Tucson for those three days. But my pool and hot tub did freeze over.

There’s legit like 2 feet of snow outside here in Cincinnati. We haven’t gotten this many inches of snow in like 30 years. It’s crazy out here

I'm quite jealous. I'm now in Chicago and all we've been getting lately is pretty much light dustings. I wanna put my Blizzaks to good use!

I drive semi truck for living. I hate this shit lol. Makes my job harder. Freezing rain is really the biggest threat, but snow just makes things a little more difficult

Makes sense haha. I drive probably a total of 100 miles a week (not including weekends) so I don't mind it as much.

So, recently purchased a 25 type s, that come with the stock ps4’s. My question is, how do they perform in the winter? I live in southern Ohio, Cincinnati area to be specific. I’m under the assumption they will perform terribly with snow/ice on the ground. I’ve never had to use summer tires in Ohio winters before. I know fwd is better than rwd, but it’s understanding that tires are the main importance when it comes to this.

I wouldnt recommend driving on the summers, terrible traction and they will crack with the cold weather. If you dont want to change out tires move to continental DWS06+ these are great all season tires and provide great tractions in all weather conditions.

Summer performance tires are not designed for winter use....stopping, starting and handling, etc...Be smart people...smmfh

There's nothing like gaining appreciation for the ps4s than driving on Blizzaks! You absolutely, positively should swap your wheels for the winter, as it doesn't require much snow to make life miserable.

Yeah I’m trying to see if I can get in at TD in the next few days. We’re gonna get hit with more snow this weekend. After getting two feet today
