On my Mercedes C300 4-Matic I have two sets of wheels for summer tires and winter tires. I live in the Colorado Rockies so the conditions always change. My summer tires are wider than stock and the tires are Michelin Pilot Super Sport. They are almost slicks so I have to go slower than usual in rain. Yesterday we had a front come through and heavy rain. There was water flowing across the road in spots and sand/gravel washed across the road. I had no trouble because I know that happens here and don’t push my luck.
Bought a 2008 Lancer Evolution new. 290HP AWD. It came with summer performance tires. Had to park it when it snowed. After 10K miles the tires turned into racing slicks. Replaced them with all seasons. No problem driving on plowed streets or a couple of inches. I couldn’t justify running 2 sets of tires.
