Winter? Bah!



Kitted up for the walk to work.

Pirelli Sottozero Serie II on winter steelies.

Heated windshields are awesome in the freezing rain! And how about those heated seats?
This thing is a tank in the snow. I drive two late model Audi’s with Quattro, and this thing is every bit as sure-footed! The sport suspension and electric steering calibration really communicate what’s happening at those 4 driven contact patches. So impressed.

Agreed. Our house is at the top of a steep hill with a couple of switchbacks. The All4 and Nokian Hakkapeliittas have dealt with snow, slush and sand with no trouble. More snow coming this week but no worries here.

Hakkapeliitta winter tires are awesome! The dealer sold me a set of Pirellis at their cost. They aren’t bad but I prefer the Finnish tires. I’m pretty sure they are made of magic and have pixie dust as part of their compound.
