Must be all the sand that Sufflolk county likes to use to 'salt' the roads during the snow storms.

The roads are much better over here Rob. Unless it's the extra HP you're making over me...if that's the case...unbolt those mods and send them my way.

UMMM.... Do not do that. The tires are not made or designed to run at 20 lbs of pressure. All you are doing is wearing out the tire faster.

Ya see, It doesn't matter for Rob. His tires are bald already.

I just got my L in May, so I'm still getting used to the way it performs in different weather conditions.

I noticed that, during warm weather, I usually had to deliberately try to spin the tires, otherwise, they rarely spun. Now that it's pretty consistently cold, I have to be really careful not to spin them! I'd read a lot of posts talking about the difference between the L's warm- and cold-weather performance, but I didn't realize that it had such a dual personality!
