Lets see your winter setup!
Winter is coming and some places even already have snow, so lets see those winter setups!
Currently still waiting for Black Friday to buy wheels and tires, so I hope it doesn't snow too much in the meantime.
Currently debating on x-ice or Blizzaks and wheels. What's the minimum size to clear the bigger brakes on the F-Sports?
Hopefully my MXM4s and AWD can handle the snow until I get some proper tires.

All I do for winter is set the wipers to winter mode and press the snow button if it has any accumulation.

My MXM4s and AWD have worked great so far in Pittsburgh winter, but Michigan may be another story. Would be sweet to have winter tires but I don't feel like spending the money since the AWD and decent all seasons have worked fine for me so far.

I believe you start off in 2nd gear in RWD cars. For the AWD cars, you stay in 1st gear, but your throttle response is kind of like Eco.

With my S5, I'm running all season Pilot Sports. Doesn't give the same sense of security as having dedicated winter tires, but didn't give me too much trouble. With the higher torque and Audi's Quattro system, I could generally power through snow and slide around corners just fine, but it did get frisky at times..
This is my first winter with the Lexus and I have a much longer commute now, so I just kind of wanted the security of dedicated winter tires.

I’m getting my underbody coated in a anti-corrosion spray this season, the brine salt can do a real number on your components. But other than that I run DWS-06’s which perform awesome in the lake effect snow Cleveland gets.
