Not exactly northern Michigan weather here in California but did have some rain and I'll say the Continentals handled like a champ. Not bad at all. Waiting for some monsoon type weather and I'll report back.

Put on mine the other day. It's been dipping below freezing. Noticed a big difference in cold weather traction. No snow yet though.

I put mine on a month ago....the joys of living in Canada

Unfortunately I've only owned the car for a couple of months now and the previous owner neglected the winter rims. I'm counting down the days until Summer so I can get them off and hopefully get them resurfaced.

New set of Conti EWC got put on October 25th (215/50R17 on stock 17x8 +45 rims).
Last set of Hankook W409 (205/55R16 on steelies) lasted me throughout 5 Canadian winters (sold them off this fall with them still having 8 to 9 /32" left).

Just got my new tires in last weekend. They are winter tires kind of right? For So Cal at least. There are a few perks living around here.

Done and snow/ice is here all the sudden about a week now which is late for here.

I'm running Blizzaks on 18" OEM Wheels

Blizzak is the only way out in Canadian winter.
