I installed my winter tires last Wednesday and not a moment too soon. My normal 1 hour commute quickly turned into a 2 hour ordeal this morning driving from Milwaukee to O'Hare.
The Volt performed fantastically and had no problems navigating through the drifts and ruts. No slipping at all. I saw a couple different cars actually loose control and end up in the ditch or the median, and I just chugged along. The car felt very planted with the General Altimax 225/55/17s, which is a slightly taller tire, but I'm not seeing a difference in the indicated speed VS. the speed shown on the app on my phone.. The tires do have about 35K miles on them, so that may account for the indicated speed being the same.
So far so good...
I also installed the All-Important Volt Screen...
