Great to hear of your positive experience with that dealership! Ooh Michelin Alpin are the dream winter tires for me - dare I ask how much it cost? Did you need to size up to 265/35/19?Thank you so much! I’ll give it a try lol.
Road used: HWY3 - Hope (You can search how brutal HWY3 is during winter)
Tires: Michelin Pilot Alpin
Castlegar - Surrey, BC (600+ KM)
Travel Duration: 1330H - 2000H
All throughout the travel, the temperature ranged from -2 to 2C (which really affects road condition in snowy mountain) with snow, rain, flurries, drizzle. Equipped with snow tires, the car really really handled the road really well! It was fast and gripped really well around the corners, well enough speed for Canadian roads. To the point where I just drove as quick as I can because it was pitch black and no cars for 2hrs along the road LOL.
Suspension: I’m not gonna lie, was surprised as I drove the car with R+ mode first half of travel and didn’t bother me. Comfort mode for sure is great, but R+ too! I am used to a much harsher rides, I think 18s will greatly improve its comfort without changing the ECU, but it’s just my opinion.
Exhaust: Too quiet but I like it as the car doesn’t sound good.
Overall: The car is worth the wait, I promise you guys it’s worth it! This thing is a beast! Take note it was my first time to drive that road + with this weather condition, but went home alive and well.
Yes it was all refunded + due to bad weather, I had to take a flight from Vancouver to Kelowna instead of straight to Castlegar. Then the GM/Owner himself picked me up from Kelowna to Castlegar which was 4hr drive.
Thanks again @Apex Carver it wouldn’t be possible with your lead! @Shichi looking forward to meet with you guys in the future thanks!
