Haven't had any snow in Cleveland yet. I hope the P7000 SS will get me through the white stuff. How do they compare to your stock RS-A's in the snow?<p>Thanks<br>George<br>97 1.8TqAS TAPII<br>94 911 Carrera 4

I don't know how they compare to the RSA's, but I have my 7 spoke 16" P7000SS in the snow twice a week for snowboarding. They are competent in the snow and great wet. They are not bad in the dry, but don't compare to 18" SP8000 for the off snowboarding season.<p>NeilM<p>PS We should move this thread over to wheel/tire forum.<ul><li><a href="http://avant.extreme.com">Avant/Snowboarding the perfect combination</a></li></ul>

I had mine in the snow last year, and was not too impressed, comparing them to BF Goodrich's Comp T/A VR4's that I had on my Subaru SVX the previous winter. I was pushing snow to the top of the front bumper in the BFG's and never spun at all, but with the P7000SS, I was spinning all the way up the street to our house last winter. I am attributing this to the tires, and hoping it's not the difference in the AWD systems. Also the Pirelli's are 235/45 R17's compared to 225/50 R16's on the SVX. Other contributing factors could be that I was still (I believe) running 40psi in the Pirelli's compared to approx. 32psi in the BFG's. If we get much snow this year, I plan on buying a 15" wheel/tire package from Tire Rack. It will prevent damage to the 17" wheels in addition to the traction advantage.
