Christine's New Shoes with Pictures
 
Being my first PA winter with Christine, I was experimenting with the Continental All-Seasons. Several small snows had produced lackluster performance and a distinct fear of the next storm. Being my 6th Maxima, I did what I had done with some of the earlier generations---went to winter treads.

This time was different though for the ABS meant 4 diggers not 2 like some of the predecessors. TireRack.com had the Dunlap Sport M2 tires in my garage in 3 days on Kazera wheels ready to bolt on. Recommended by Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes was all I had to read in the reviews.

We got 6 inches yesterday and I went out on some unplowed hills and did not even spin a wheel. Pretty impressive stuff for a car that sat spinning wheels in my driveway with less than an inch of snow.

Wow the Dunlops performed that well? Good deal. Great name for your car, that was a classic movie. I still will probably go Michelin when these RSAs wear out.

Yes, I am aware of that name's heritage, and she earned it by locking me out (while still running) in the driveway. Now I carry a flat key in my wallet in case this ever happens again. Also, it is documented by other drivers on this forum as a flaw in the locking sensers.

Sure, see the link added to my original post. Pardon the salty mess, but she "cleans up nicely."

Hey your Spirited Bronze looks a lot like my Coral Sand :rolling_e

Maybe Nissan can merge the colors and call it Spirited Sand. :chuckle:
