Anyone have Es 100's go to reno while it was snowing yet? How was it? I'm going this Sunday and i'm a bit worried.

 

Last week I drove to and from Wyoming from California on AVS ES 100s. At least 20% of the drive was on ice coated roads, and another 20% snow covered roads. It was a little slippery, but I made it without any problems. Didn't need chains. Just be careful and drive smart.

 

while it's not the BEST option, thank goodness for stock re92's!!!

I hit a good snow storm and wet/snowy roads on a day excursion to Reno from Sac. It was interesting in AVS ES100s but the AWD held its own. Braking can be a little tricky once you release the power/gas. Slippage did occur on some downhill parts of the road. Overall, I felt good about hitting the snowy hills in my Yokos.

 

do they have "M+S" on the sidewall?

if not- they might make you put on chains if it's snowing!

 

they aren't m+s, or if they are, they shouldnt be. they are absolutely ****ty in the snow. we had to get chains, we couldnt keep the car straight.

 

rent a car ed, dont take your car. My friend just got back form up there and he put his stock RE92s on and he said he'll never do it again.

 

seriously dont risk it. id let you borrow my stockers but they wouldnt be much help driving in the snow. borrow someone's stockers and drive safe!

 

Darkangel,

Are you rolling on stockers right now? If not can i borrow yours?

 

yea I am. I would do a swap with you but its raining. and I would of got tires for my other wheels but I need to swap the control arms out first

 

NM, i found a set of re 92's that i can borrow. thanks anyways.

 

Hey! They weren't THAT bad man! LoL

OK, they weren't that great either, but I heard everyone who went anywhere near snow zones last weekend got ****ed with road conditions. I think there must've been a cm or two of ice on the roads up by Dodge Ridge last weekend, and starting from a stop was certainly not a fun thing.

If you're dealing with actual snowy roads you'll need chains, if the roads are somewhat well maintained you ought to be OK I think.
