In any case, this is exactly one of those posts that I was referring to above...

I had no problem driving my runflats in winter. I was in control and felt confident in cold weather on dry pavement. I had absolutely no issue. No problem in rain either just can't drive aggressively. Absolutely useless in snow even with less than an inch. Driving a stick gives more overall control. If you are driving an automatic perhaps it makes you less confident. |

I made 1 long trip with my oem run flats but no rain. When i drove around home and during rain i darn near lost it as i hydroplaned on the freeway. I have since replaced the tires with Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS and very happy with them. Have a slime tire kit in the car. No worries.

Typically, winter driving means in either fairly extreme cold, or snow and ice.

I think that is why they give °F/°C ratings. This is a big country and it has weather that is all over the map. But I would tend to agree I would "assume" winter to be freezing with a chance of snow. |

I've driven on summer tires the past few "winters" but that's here in NC, where the average high in the coldest month is 50F. There are a few days each year that don't get above freezing, and if it's an otherwise nice day, I've been fine with just keeping in mind that I can't stop and turn quite as fast as a 70F day. If you drive it like people in crossovers drive, you'll be alright. It's the wet and 35F days that are sketchy.

My BFG's are now basically shot. The rears are really gone and slippery under hard acceleration. Need to get new tires and am going to try the Michelin AS3 if I can find them for decent price.... Tire Choice store quoted me 1400$ .... thats way to steep.
I am in Naples FL 34102....

I had mine installed at a discount tire, and after rebates it was just under $1000. I think that's the best deal that can be found on them.
