So it gave me chance to come on here and look at some comments/reviews on these etc..
Now people say they are GREAT for snow, literally the best. But not so good on ice. Now I know there isn't a single tire out there that is GREAT on ice but by what I've read this sucks in most peoples opinions.
We do get a lot of snow up in these parts but then again it can stop for a couple weeks at a time and just leave ice all around the city, from communities to main roads.
So my 2-part question to you guys; how will the LM60 hold up in Calgary? Also, what tire would everyone recommend for these bumpy conditions; quite a bit of ice, snow and dry pavement?
PS - I KNOW this is the wrong section but I'll get more responses than I would in the tire section. Also, yes I wish I could move to Miami or California.  |
I drove my e46 M3 in Edmonton and Calgary also to Vancouver and back many a times in winter. I use a winter wheel set (rims are replica style 220M I picked up all 4 rims for a very good price brand new) and always Michelin ICE winter tires. There are some great deals to be had on the Internet. I got my winter tires from Tire Rack, shipped quick and arrived 2 days after ordering at my house (saved $500- in doing so compared to Canadian Tire price)
