First snow commute was cool runnings

Purchased my 2020 LR back in February this year and had my first snow commute few days ago and it was awesome. I replaced the 19” sport wheels with 18 ‘s with new blizzaks. The car consistently gave me a confident feeling and assurance in a mix of situations. Uphill driving , downhill with sharp turns. Weight felt well balanced and distributed and I could tell each wheel almost the same weight on top of them. Only gripe was being sedan it sits lower so not much fun in deep pow where you’re ploughing through.

Any reason why you only wrapped the chrome of the top half and not all of it? Never seen that before

Hi G. Those are window visors/rain guards. Had to install these right away after getting the car. Hated having to get the windows up before using the wipers to prevent water getting in

Nice pics. I’d do chrome delete and re-install the rain guards so it looks clean. Would be a big improvement

Thank you. That is a great idea. Will definitely do when warmer weather comes. 👍🏼

I didn’t even know they made 18 blizzard in our size. I have the continentals and they are pretty good but they definitely have more of a mud tire look and pattern. Also my tires don’t hurt range at all.

I’m pretty impressed how quite these tires are.
