1st snow with my MCS

Ride home from work with 1" on the roads, snowing hard, and not a sander in sight. Riding on factory 195/55 16 all seasons. Not bad, good amount of ice built up where tires have packed the snow. DSC kicked in a couple of times... have snow tires, but not installed yet. Once they get on I think my Mini will be pretty decent in the slippery stuff. Happy because I'm coming from a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Sahara that was..... well a Jeep!

Good to hear. I'm also coming from a 09' Wrangler.

I worked through some snow out here in North Dakota and though the ice was somewhat slippery, it wasn't that bad a drive. I'm riding on Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.
