Chedman13's Winter FX45

[Chedman13]

So now it's time for winter and time for the snow tires. I am really happy with the Hankook I*Pike RW11 P265/50R20 106T DSB. They are extremely quiet and handle well at highway speeds. They also look pretty mean.

I didn't wash my car, so don't mind the bugs. Pictures came out decent for having a 5 year old point and shoot camera.

I have one more mod for the winter... I'll post pics once I get it put on

Tire treads look killer Ed! Let us know how they really perform in the snow.

Those are nice mods, the grille is some things that grow on you, but it's really unique, and I love those exhaust pipes.:wub:

Yes, 20" OEM for winter. Dropped on H&R's. For some reason I'm liking my OEM's better than my 22's right now, maybe I'm going through withdrawal for not seeing my OEM's for a while=)

Thanks, I feel the same about the grille. Tried many variations, but I do like how it's unique.

I should invest on some good snow tires as well .. it's supposed to be a BAD winter.

The car looks great. Nice rubber. I hope we get a lot of snow in Chicago this year!

So reporting back on the Hankook IPike tires -- I'm sticking to Chicago Roads/Snow/Ice/Slush like GLUE.

No slippage in acceleration and no ABS during breaking. Still need to be careful and turns need to be taken slow, but light years ahead of the already good Hankook RH06 All-seasons.

What great tires. I look forward to driving in snow now!

Good to hear, they sound like great tires. Where in IL are you and how much snow did you get last night?

Chicago. Not sure, the forecast said 6 - 11 inches. I've been driving through maybe 4-5 inches in the suburbs no problem, the other roads are only at like 1-2 inches of slush/snow/ice.

Did you have the spikes installed?

 

[Chedman13]

Did you have the spikes installed?

Nope, I think you can only go like X mph until the spikes fly out. There is no need in my mind for spikes, probably only ruin the roads.

I'm all for studdable tires/studless tires. I got a performance winter tire on another car, I thinking I should have gotten a true winter tire like the Ipikes.
