1st time in snow roads (SVT Focus content)

[u1cobra]

I imported Cooper's newest all season tires "ZEON RS3-G1" from SummitRacing a month ago.

Today, I tried on snow roads first time.

This was my first ever driven @ snow roads in back country.
That was fun and scenery was beautiful.

How did the car handle on the snow with those tires?

That's some gorgeous scenery there and one very clean SVT! I just put Blizzaks on my CO SVT EAP ZX3 yesterday. I found a set of 16" wheels so I wouldn't have to run my 17's in the snow. Funny thing is that it was 64 degrees here yesterday, which is REALLY warm for Pittsburgh in January. I'm excited to see the difference in grip when we get some snow. The Nittos on the car were scary in even the lightest snow or cold weather.

Thank you.
I thought try to get cheap 16" rims and studless tires , same as you.
But I'm living in Tokyo, there is snow falling less than two or three times in winter.
So I don't need studless tires.
And I found this tire last summer.
Cooper saids this ZEON RS3-G1 all season tire has nice cornering capability on dry, so I think it's match for my syle.
BTW today's temperature where I took pics was 27-30 degrees.

My 03 SY EAP car handles the snow and ice like a champ.

CJ - what tires have you run in the winter weather? Are there any hills in Nebraska?
