PurrfectFit is on a distinguished road
snow tires

Well, I've installed the snow tires and at 120 k the road noise becomes apparent. Thankfully no snow yet -- I really hate winter, as you might have guessed.

Did not notice any vibration from the Nordics, but then again I don't normally drive fast in winter, and seldom bring the car up to speeds of 120 k for long peroids of time.

These days Montreal winters are not like they used to be, but we're sure to have some storms and then I'll see how it performs. My past experience with light cars has been with rear wheel drive, except for an Austin Mini that used to climb up onto the snow, and then get stuck there! My other front wheel drive cars have always been good in snow, so I expect the Fit will be too!

Later,
Bill
