Thumbs Up! CX-9 w/ Goodyear Ultragrip Ice WRT

[weaseltraps]

I've been driving our new 2012 CX-9 GT AWD around the past few days during various Winter conditions (snow, blizzard, slush, ice). I wanted to say that I am impressed with the combo of AWD with Winter Tires. I had some reservations buying the Goodyears as in general they are rated below the Michelin X-ice 2/3 and Blizzaks but after running around on them under many different conditions I am impressed and happy I saved some coin going with the Ultragrip WRTs.

I know it's not an apples to apples comparison but the car I am coming from is a Subaru Tribeca running the Xice2s and I think the CX-9 with Ultragrips drives better.

My setup is:

2012 CX-9 AWD GT
CX-7 factory 18" Alloy Wheels
Goodyear Ultragrip WRT Ice (for passenger/CUV)

Safe driving to all of you this Winter!

Yeah uh, all wheel drive with winter tires. You could conquer a ski slope with that thing!

I agreed, AWD and Winter tires is nothing but fun!

We have 18" Blizzaks on ours, it's a beast in the snow.
