You need smarter friends, steer clear of this hobo...

No, I didn’t plan to drive it during the winter time.

Seriously though I always thought the multiple nozzles might lower the pressure too much.

No, it works great to get the grime out for sure. Highly recommend it.

there's a local BP with a touchfree car wash that has an underbody spray. The wash itself is a waste of money otherwise.

I use to go to a local car wash and use the power washer to remove most of the rock salt. But I prefer to use my wife’a car, which is a jeep with winter tires. The other option is my Honda S2000, but with that car I cannot even go out of my driveway without spinning 3 times 😂

I didn’t put any winter tires because I wasn’t planning to use the car during the cold season. My biggest concern is not the traction, with AWD is still acceptable, but the breaking performance is pretty low. Not to mention the m3 cs ground clearance is not ideal.

So true!!!

There are some crazy teens that have no any idea of how to drive a car

I will definitely try to find one and give it a try. Sure beats crawling on the frozen ground.

In cold weather traction is the huge concern especially with the wrong tires...AWD or not. Under 45F or so on anything but perfectly dry roads and you are asking for major trouble with performance tires on any car.

So the problem isn't that it's a CS, it's that it's got inappropriate tires for the conditions. Put appropriate tires on it and it'll be fine. The rest of us are just as screwed if we were to drive our PS4s in snow.

Even a Range Rover would be utterly hopeless on Cup 2s in the winter.

Sure, I was referring to the ground clearance, which is another limitation

Do any G80x drivers on here daily their car in the winter. I live in northern Michigan, so I do mean real winters. If so, even though the car is AWD, how do the pirellis handle these conditions? Also concerned about the ice clumps that form behind tires inside wheel housing area and the front splitter being damaged by these same type of clumps left on roadways from time to time. Love to hear people experiences, if any, with these things

Thanks

Hey man I'm also a TC resident, I drive an xdrive g82, I use all seasons and it works pretty well as long as the slush level isn't above my front splitter. Hmu if you ever wanna cruise.
