[s-cars] RE: What I did over Christmas

[Fred Munro]

Hi Taka;

As a rule of thumb, I always replace my snow tires when they get down to 50%
remaining tread depth. I find the high speed traction and stability in slush
and snow falls off considerably at this point and they act more like
all-season tires than snow tires. If you spend most of your time toodling
around town it probably doesn't matter as much, but 90% of my driving is
highway.

Bob-
That sounded pretty much like my Christmas, although it was driving in
heavy rain in the morning and snow at night.

Is it just me or do Dunlop Wintersport M2s drop off dramatically in
terms of traction and directional stability once you use up 1/3 to
1/2 of the original tread?

Taka
