racerx78 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 We finally got a decent amount of snow here so I took the SHO out to play and to test how the Nitto Motivo did in the snow. At the end of the day the tires were good in the snow but snow tires would have been much better, but wouldn't last as long with my driving. The SHO's AWD system is a good Auxiliary setup that allows the car to put its power down. I wouldn't compare it to a EVO, STi or Audi AWD setup.

STEVE-O Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 AWD is fun I can tell a difference in my 325xi and my s4. The BMW likes to kick the rear out much more because the power transfer but still I'm not getting stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenger1647545502 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 I had to take Mom's Element up to the parts store...which involved a side trip to a deserted parking lot. WORST. AWD. EVER. Undefeatable traction control and vehicle stability means as soon as you get it drifting nicely, the computers step in and try to wrench it back straight forward...which means that anything more than about 10* of wheel means that you WILL be suddenly understeering the opposite way you intend to. Ugh. Dad's Super Duty Crewcab long bed 4X4 was MUCH more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 I just dropped off a bedful of cardboard and Christmas trash at a recycle dumpster, in a C'bus park that had not been plowed. Much of the tire tracks left over the last few days had melted and refreezed, so there was a wide berth of icy goodness. Rumbled Cleetus over to the patch, start turning gently and BRAAAAAP!!! in 1st gear. Instant 180* turn. I forgot how much fun hooning can be.

Das Borgen Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 snow tires on the big 7 are enough to have real fun....AWD will prevent you getting stuck, maybe....but my snow tires will let me corner safer and brake faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
