LM-25's on the way - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

DARKSTI · 2005-12-27, 12:47 PM

Just placed my order from some Blizzak LM-25's from www.tirerack.com.
I wanted the M3's. I hear and read some reviews that they are pretty close in handling and better in slush. Should be here tomorrow.

You'll be happy with your purchase. Those are great tires.

i actually picked them up, they are getting mounted now

HOLY DANG! I drove to Boca/Stampede after I had them mounted.
It was wet the whole way and they felt better when I would hit a patch of water on the highway. I had to go far back at Boca, but found about 1-2in of snow on the road and some slush. I tried braking, they stopped better. I tried to do donuts, it was much harder. I did some start/stops and getting going was so much easier, it hardly spun. When on the go, i was plowing through 2-3in of slush/crusty snow and it hardly slid.
The ride is a bit softer but thats fine by me. Cant wait to see how they do in the heavy stuff.

I have the LM-25s and they're pretty cool. I was driving too fast up sunrise yesterday morning in our downpour. A couple of cars thought they could keep up but the standing water had them all over the place.
