Wisconsin Winter

Hey Folks!

I am relocating from Iowa to the Racine area in the next few weeks with my wee mini Laurel convertible.

I have already fitted some Dunlop WinterMaxx with winter wheels, will I have any problems getting around with the extra snow??

Looking forward to getting over to a couple of events once we are settled

Good luck with your move. The MINI will go through the snow without a problem, especially with winter tires.

I hope so, looking forward to proving the doubters wrong! Its a manual too, makes it easier in the snow.

Snow tires make a world of a difference! You'll be happy you purchased them.

No Problem

With Snow tires the Wisconsin winter is usually manageable. Only in the most severe snow accumulations should you have problems getting around and then they are usually advising everyone to stay home if possible. Of course, my job does not allow for that so through the snow we go on Michelin X Ice xi3 tires.
