You realize, all 3PMS tires are M+S rated, right? The tread pattern needed for grip in the snow, slush and warm ice makes it automatically meet the M+S void to tread ratio definition. Tread compound alone does not make it a 3PMS tire.
1994 is technically relatively new in terms of tires.

Why not look at a high ester oil, like Motul 300V, Redline High Performance Oil, or Amsoil Signature series?
Mobil 1 15w50 is only up to 10% Group IV PAO.... kinda weak imho.
First, not too many people around LA uses winter tires, even the skiiers and snowboarders. They rather put chains (or cables) on their cars and trucks first, including the subarus.
This video was taken at Big Bear Lake right before the New Year... it's satisfying seeing the first car that...
I had the WR G3 (assymetric) on my old FWD Passat... liked them enough to go with WR G4 this time around.
But before the WR G3, had cheaper performance winters such as Hankook Icebear W300 and Nexen Winguard Sport (the original one), as I wanted better dry-cold and wet-cold handling for my...
