At first, I was reluctant to buy snow tyres because we were in the midst of a fairly mild winter.

However, since ~late January, its been snow/icing almost constantly.

Loving these XICE Snow. They're an improvement from the previous XICE3 in terms of road noise and wet traction.

The snow/ice acceleration and braking traction seems to be about similar to the outgoing model.

The lateral (turning grip) snow traction is immense, however.

I love snow tyres for winter use. Its so easy to manipulate the car's yaw rate and I don't get stuck anymore.

I should note that I never (under any circumstance) use traction control in any car.

I can get this mother sideways and pointed in the correct direction about 100ft before the intersection, and by the time I reach the intersection, I just have to gas it and go straight. And I'm off into the distance. Rally stylin.

I can drive normal really good with these tyres too. But...that's not really exciting or in need of description.

I've already had to drive far away, through a woods, in a snow storm. Because I was hungry for a very specific type of sandwich.



During the next snow storm, I was hungry again. Snowy interstate? Pff. No problem, jerky.



Got caught in another snow storm whilst I was in the downtown Chicago area. Yes...I was out getting food.




I also no longer get stuck in my driveway or trying to leave a parking spot...

 

Little deep cleaning.






Bought an OEM lip a few months back.

Finally got it painted.

Haven't installed it yet. This is just placed on the car without any hardware. Gotta love OEM fitment.

It'll stay in its box for the time being.




Oh yeah. Also made sure the Mt.Fuji symbol faces the valve cap. Honda style.

hai

 

Pearl white ages less white than new... you going to have that paint matched?

 

Nah. Its pretty close. The bumper being a bit rock chipped doesn't help.

The car's gonna be FS next week, I think. I think I just bought a different car today?

 

Really? WTF, man... you just got here.

What did you accidentally buy today?

 

Haha I'll still be around!

This car has been a ton of fun, and this is a VASTLY better community than most other type of models have.

Unfortunately, I didn't ever quite bond with it and it should be enjoyed by someone who's a lot more passionate about this platform.

Hopefully it goes to a good home.

I bought the car in September and through a multitide of mishaps on the part of FedEx and the AZ/IL DMV's, I am supposed to receive the much awaited title this coming week.

 

Jeez, that sport lip just made a world of a difference. Went from an ugly betty to a sexy....Stacey? Something like that... (Wow what an emoji)

Are you considering selling again? If you are 100% sure let me know
