What is the biggest difference between the WRG2s and the RSIs?
= more safe when really needed.
But if I go on full throttle the 350 Nm of the 520d of torgue is too much for
the tires and the DSC will kick in.
We'll get the first snow to Helsinki tomorrow, 6 inches is expected for Monday
morning. Then we see what will happen...
Most cars in Finland have winter tires with spikes (80 %), but not many cars do
have modern DSC etc. systems.
The RSi's (the new Nokian's are called R's) are winter tires without spikes.

The RSi's are a bit looser on dry surface but better on icy or snowy roads.

We already have some snow up here. Hopefully it stays.
And I hope there's lot of it about to come
