Just had a snow drive with my stelvio. Way beyond my expectation - unbelievably stable

@gts3612 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your videos on the Stelvio! They're the only really decent ones on KZfaq. We have a 2021 Stelvio Ti and living in Canada, I agree with your assessments entirely. Get a separate set of wheels and snow tires not just for the snow but also the extreme cold makes the all season compounds so hard that it can be tough to stop even on dry roads. Plus, we get an insurance discount because we run separate winter tires. I didn't drop the wheel size all the way to 18" but did drop it to 19" from the stock 20" wheels and put Pirelli Ice Zero tires on that work great. The Stelvio is a total champ in the snowy/icy/cold conditions up here. I'll definitely be switching out to the Michelin's from the Conti's when the time comes for the all season tires based on your previous video review. Thanks again!

I just bought these Michelin Pilot AS 4 to replace crappy Bridgestone EL440's on CX-30 turbo. We got hit with this same storm, pretty much first time out in snow this season with Micheline X-ICE SNOWs, what a wonderful tire in the slush/ice/snow.

Hi Phil, I owned a Stelvio for the last couple years very similar to yours and I had the continentals on and yes I agree they did not do that great in the bad weather. But the Stelvio all wheel drive system is awesome! I own a Maserati Ghibli now and I absolutely love it. But I do miss the Stelvio chassis and the practicality of it. I have been doing some thinking, next year I think I'm going to get into a Stelvio QV 😀. Love the videos Phil and stay safe👍😀

I am originally from the NE and never used the term “paved” except when referring to the actual road service itself (asphalt vs dirt). We always used the term “plowed” when referring to the snow on the road being cleared of snow. Maybe using the term “paved” vs “plowed” is a NJ thing?

Michelin cost more but there is a reason why they do.... I've been driving all my winter vehicles on Michelin tires since 1980, I've tried other brands but Michelin tires stop much faster on snow or ice. If you live where it snows and the streets ice up then you should always buy 4 winter tires...period!

I have the 19 inch Perelli Verde all season they seem to be really good for soft snow but not too good on hard snowy ice not that any tire is good on ice but I think the traction control button you can’t shut off so it’s hard to spin the tires sometimes to get a little wheel spin and get a little momentum to melt the ice when you’re in a hole .

thats a pretty good tire as well but the steering and cornering of the Michelin has a slight edge which is why i choose those.

@@autofanaticcars Well... I had Nokian Zline and they were very good on dry. Uniroyal Rain Sport 3 also. I can't use summer tires because in Poland we never know. Alfa Romeo Crosswagon Q4 for some reason, have a strange behavior with Michelin and other tires with soft "wall"... Maybe because I don't use low profile tires and the high profile it's too flexible on curves at a high speed. I'm not talking about highway, there only matters the rubber quality mostly.
