When the snow is a fallin'.

I got 57k on my RS-A's, one's a leakin' and there ain't much free air in this town, but I tell you snow's one case when the Maxima's handling actually does instill confidence (not false I hope!).

I did a quick check on my ABS by slamming the brakes on, works like a charm.

Finally we get some snow, maybe 8"!

E-A-G-L-E-S......Eagles!!

 

Bears!! JK

 

i dunt got ABS and i still tear up corners =)

 

I feel just the opposite. I think the Max is very ungainly in the snow. After 4 winters, I decided enough is enough and got snow tires. Much better but you should always have a healthy fear of snow and ice IMHO...

 

what size rims do you have????

 

I felt the same way, but I was used to driving a Jeep in the winter before. My rims are the stock 16's

 

Was using stock 215/60R15, now with Arctic Alpin 205/65R15. Before, my mom's toyota corolla handled better in the snow. I'm sure it is also tire dependent: stock toyo's and Dunlop D60A2's weren't doing much for me in the snow...

 

You mean you don't like how the Max is all squirrelly in the snow? I can't stand the RE92s. I told myself I'd get snow tires this winter but I haven't done it yet.

 

Just get some snow tires or all season performance/ultra high peformance tires for the Maxima. I got the Pirelli 7000SS and it is working out fine in the NE region. I drove on RSA and Proxies OEM tires before and never again.

 

i dont know
mine handles like ****

maybe something is wrong with my car, but it is floaty and steering response is absolutely horrible. I know the stock gxe suspension isn't all that, but i got the FSTB and grippy tires on, and it's still bad. my 93 SE stock, more abused, older and with beat up struts handled 10 times better. I didn't even bother taking it out in the snow, I have no ABS and don't want to risk it until the roads are cleaned.

 

57K on RS-A's you've got to be kidding me right? Those tire sucked after 30K. Noisey, handling was poor, they squealed way toooo much. Rain, snow - no way. There were great new, but a bit of ware on them made them one of the worst tires I've ever owned.

 

Nope, totally serious, got 57,200 now. Plan on replacing them with RE950's. Granted the RS-A comes on cheapo cars like Neon and Grand Am, tney also come on expensive cars like A6. I think it's wasteful to toss them at 30k. Mine got rotated every 7000 or so, probably prolonged the life.

E-A-G-L-E-S.....Eagles! It's St. Louis time, then hopefully Nawlins 2 weeks from today.

 

you should have got the dunlop sp sport 5000 not the a2s I got em they rule
