Switched to the PSS, FANTASTIC......and today it was 28 degrees coming into work, dry never any snowhere just cold at times and handled great although didnt drive aggressively. But in the dry, over 40 degrees thay are like glue. No comparison to the PS3, NONE!

 

Glad it worked out.

 

You will, trust me. Night and day difference from just about any tire out there. It will take you all of 10 seconds to see what people mean While obviously an extremely unfair comparison, I just swapped out A/S 3's on Sunday for a set of Blizzak WS80's and couldn't believe the difference in handling, grip and steering (in the negative direction obviously). On dry pavement it feels like a completely different car. No more taking on ramps at any speed I wish. Very floaty with weird secondary motions going on. The A/S 3's are so SOLID. BUT the Blizzaks rock in the snow! Come April I'm going to switch to a set of Pilot Super Sports and sell the A/S 3's (they handle very similarly).

 

Awesome! Ever since me and my wife owned our minis we haven't put that good of tire on .. so it's gonna be a nice eye opener lol

 

I swapped out the original tires back when I was living in South Carolina, right before moving to Massachusetts. I was a little apprehensive, as you might imagine. Went through the summer great, and I loved loved LOVED their wet weather handling. As you might have heard, we just had a little storm up this way (24-30" where I live, though hard to tell with all the drifts). I have to say that these tires did as well as could be expected. Can't go nuts like normal Mini driving would be, but they kept me out of the snowbank.
