Yea! - Snow Tires Off
I took off the Primacy snows today and put the S8s back on. My wife’s Forester will be sufficient for any remaining ski trips should a storm hit this season.
The FE hit was surprisingly small for the P. Alpins. I figure less than 1.5 mpg average if I allow about a .5 MPG loss for pavement surface conditions. (I got that number as a ratio from driving the snows on all bare pavement vs. driviing them on slush, ice, snow, etc. I used whole tanks only for the comparision.) Not a lot of data for a valid result, but I did have three tanks for each pavement condition — courtesy of Western Washington’s tendancy for relatively constant weather trends over several days (Weeks ?).
