I've spent a lot of time on both and the ws80 has noticeably more grip on hardpack snow and ice. It has better rubber and more small biting edges. In deeper snow and slush yes I would give the general the edge as it has bigger voids between the tread blocks. I expect you'd have a similar experience with any of the the other "performance" winter or ice-traction oriented treads.

Same. Which end is doing most of the turning and stopping?

If you're going with a slightly different winter tire size, narrower and taller is better than shorter and wider. I'm not seeing a good option to do that for 17" tires though. It could still also be possible to use 16s so i wouldn't completely rule that out. 215/60-16 is a tire size that exists and is the right diameter.

jonathan posted:i'd prefer the tallest tire possible. Why? Higher CG, taller effective final drive, more tire flex. All things you might not want on track. Maybe try those nexens, the sur4, or federal's 595 RSRR.

Preoptopus posted:Goop melts the rubber with intent to plug the hole. Its super caustic and bad for everything except a large portion of punctures it doesnt reach and yes It will destroy your sensor eventually. Do you have a source for this? As far as I can tell most sealants are just water, latex, fibers to help plug holes, and some sort of an anti-freeze. For example, here's the msds for a can of that slime brand emergency tire repair stuff https://storage.googleapis.com/slime-com/uploads/Tire%20Sealant.pdf key points: quote:· Classification of the substance or mixture jamal fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Oct 24, 2019 |

Yeah 16" wheels will fit over the older (pre 2015) wrx brakes. Even some 15s work. I would guess there are a number of 18" wheels that fit over the telsa brakes.

I'd guess your problem had more to do with tread depth than tread width.

Seems like 275/45 is too wide for a 9" wheel? How about 245/45? That seems to be pretty common.
