Bridgestone Potenza G019 Grid

Getting a nasty ice,sleet and freezing rain storm here in the Ozarks so I dreamed up a reason to go to the store just now. I have about 500 miles on these all seasons and they've been awesome in the dry but could not believe how well they work in nasty conditions as well. Headed straight for an empty church parking lot and could not get it to spin out or lose control. I don't understand how ASC works but that's what I have not DTC . So what's the difference and how do they work. I tried pushing the button and holding it down with no success but it works well on. Dang I forgot to try donuts backwards , guess I'll have to go back after lunch. Lovin my MINI and new Bridgestones!

Haha you were right! Today fresh snow, about 3.5 inches out in the country. Back roads were fun and I did slip around quite a bit but no losing control. Several four wheelers had gone ahead of me and the ruts made it tough as I was scraping the front every once in a while. Did get to do back wards donuts in an empty parking lot. That was a blast for an older fellow!
