    I'm loving my Arctics so far.  They are the older version I think.  Not quite the ice performance as a Blizzak but better on dry roads.

      I saw the arctic 12. They basically advertised better tire life and road noise so that means harder rubber and less aggressive tread pattern. Which means worse traction.

        Thought about getting them but they were 100 dollars a tire compared to 60

              I have no complaints at all about road noise, bummer 😦 at least I only have 1 season so far.

                this cold snap is absurd, but should set us up for the winter as far as ice goes. it will be nice is Sinnisippi stays frozen since that is so much closer to MKE

                    Anyone interested in going on Sunday? I'm debating between this or actually working on my car since it'll be 10 times warmer than the past two weeks

                        Ended up not going, worked on the car instead. Thankfully, there is another one scheduled for the 21st! I guess the turnout was pretty huge so this time you need to register in advance. Registration opens on the 14th at 8am: https://www.facebook.com/events/317060545452423/

                          I also did not go. This weeks weather has me questioning whether it's worth buying new snows this year...

                          Would still like to get on the ice this year regardless.

                              I've got family in town Sunday unfortunately, otherwise I'd be there. Who is running that one? I didn't see it on the FVSCC page. I'm 99% sure I'm going to the lake Poygan event on the 21st though

                                    I heard Poygon has some awesome conditions right now. Hopefully they stay that way for another week!

                                      Lets hope so! I've never done an ice event before so having awesome conditions for learning would be great
