Nice looking wheel.

Why not a winter tire for your winter setup?

Minimal snow/ice in your drive?

Yeah I was initially pretty torn because I know how much better they are in the right conditions. But Puget Sound gets like 3 days of snow a year, and average temps swing between 20s at night and 40s during the day. I’d just wear them out and they’re another $100 a tire.

I got away with my Pilot Sport 4Ss last year, but didn’t have to deal with snow. I’d rather not try and chance another winter on them. I drive an hour to work and leave for 4 days at a time so the weather can change a lot while I’m gone.

1 - it clearly states it is a Next Generation Cooking oil.
2 - It has MCT in it. Not sure what this does for you.
3 - Yours is measured in grams, his is measured in ml.
4 - His bottle contains more.

I have the same tires on my Fiesta and really like them. I had them on the BRZ for a week before it got totaled.

Anyone else wonder why the 18 year old econo-box is in the garage and the 4 year old econo-box is stuck outside?

Obviously the Subaru is worth more and can be used as a retirement nest egg

The 18 year old econobox is leaking oily bull**** all over my driveway, so it is in time out until I fix it. Though it's only a few drops, not as bad as my neighbor's Ford. Their driveway looks like the Exxon Valdez stopped by for a visit.

Yeah, they're more than adequate for PNW winters as long as you don't hit the mountains with them on - they're definitely not snow tires, but like you I don't think it snows enough out here to be worth the investment.

I have zero reason to go into the mountains these days with lift tickets $100+ per person. Nope, these are for me to reliably get between Bremerton and SeaTac.
