Just wanted to let everyone know that RE070 are the worst tires ever in the snow. I was going about 5mph and braked, I slid 8 feet and hit a pole. lol. So beware for those of you going to tahoe this week! peece!

 

oh no! how's your car?

 

eek!

I wish Subaru made it more well known that the 070s are *not* mud and snow rated. In the snow, give me RE92s over 070s anyday.

I hope the damage wasn't too severe.

 

I know the feeling (well almost). I have Pirelli 6000's which are a "summer" tire. We had about 5" of snow a few weeks ago and it was the first time I ever drove my WRX in the snow. Taking off was fairly easy but when I tried to stop...Oh my god! I am definitely saving for some all-season tires. I hope it doesn't snow til after x-mas. Oh and sorry about your car.

 

Just to clarify these are the stock tires on our STI's right...?

Yes

 

I'm very pleased then I got my rota boosts today and my Pirelli PZero Nero M&S will be here tomorrow :-)

Don't even bother with all seasons. Go for dedicated snow/summer set, and you will be infinately happier.

i have a black mark on my bumper, and my left headlight beams a little lower then my right... damn! I was yelling "shhh***t" as I hit the pole in very slow motion, hahaha

worst of all there were some hotties parked in the car next to me and it was embarrasing lol

 

seriously, why would you even think of driving those things in the snow.

 

yea, i know they're summer tires, but i headed up to tahoe on a minutes notice... I'm getting new tires this week...

 

Momma always said "stupid is as stupid does"
