we had a pretty bad snowstorm, but the X still kept up really well, even with the stock diamaris summer tires.

here are some pics for you guys!

early in the morning...

friend helping me wipe all the snow/ice off.

parked with my cousins GX470... you can't tell by the pics, but it's REALLY dirty!

have to get it washed soon, after most/all the snow melts.

i had a blast driving it around, passing everyone getting stuck on the highway. We then drove to a huge shopping mall parking lot nearby at around 1 am, and had a little fun.

How many inches of snow did you guys get?

You do know you are completely out of your mind running Diamaris in the winter, in deep snow, right?

Just checking....

well the X still handles really well in them...

i'm planning on getting a set of 17" snow rims/tires for next winter.

for the sake of yourself if not others, please don't drive around with performance summer tires in roads like we had.....

I'm not even quite sure how you were able to ~stop~ on those hockey pucks of yours..

I generally don't like to be out on the 1st snowfall. No offense, but I'll let guys like you figure out what proper traction means...

you'll be amazed, after you give it a try. it's either that they work unbelievably well, or it's because i have new tires with a lot of tread left...
