Your Blackwing in the snow

[Kawman]

If I'm squinting right, your front tires are 285s? That's a lot of front tire. And that's a lot of snow.

Correct, 285/30's front and 295/30's rear. I'm looking forward to faster corners next season.

I was always under the impression a more narrow tire is better in the snow. I'm running a square 255 set up on my 4 and had no issue this morning waking up to a fresh snow fall in my 25 mile drive to the office.

Correct, narrower tires are better for snow. Notice the rusty rotors? It doesn't leave the driveway around snow and salt. I've got an old pickup for those days.

I'm already focused on next year's track days.

You're missing out of some fun in the snow. I just wish we still had a handle for an E-brake.

Being in my 60's I'm mostly done sliding cars around in the snow, especially a $100K car.

After many years of skiing, I tried mono-skiing, then snowboarding, followed by snowmobiling. Then there was the day I learned of the existence of these things. If I'm going outside to play in winter, this is what I'm doing.
