A big question of mine was if those vents behind the front wheels would just fill with snow. You know how the slush builds up behind the front tire and freezes there.. I was worried it would be one huge chunk of ice all the way through the vent. Did you notice any buildup?
It was great on the road up and down , I pulled into the parking lot where they had about 6-8 inches and it spun a bit from a dead stop but I certainly was able to get going , there were too many cars around to really give it a thorough test but certainly got me up and down without issue . My last BMW was an X6 5.0 and I put the Conti Sport DWS tires on and they were excellent in all conditions . The Stinger wont get much snow exposure I bought a Sorento SX 2 years ago and its what we use to go to Whistler . We get a bit of snow here in the city and I just wanted to make sure we were covered for that odd day when we do get it . As for wet and dry conditions these tires are awesome ! Very happy , I've got the Michelins for sale on Craigslist
Lol, I was thinking some sort of wire heater with a switch in the cabin.
As for the vents , you can see how much snow piled up in the wheel arch , they were definitely plugged
Where do you live ?
My concerns are carrying what could be an extra 15+ lbs of weight that is comprised of corroding salt infused ice, on both front corners of the car. Normally when the ice piles up I can kick it a couple of times and it will break off, If it's one solid chunk of ice from behind the wheel all the way through the vent, I doubt kicking it off will do much good.
I am going to say yes
