This event involved testing out a variety of different tires on dry road conditions and then wet ones (they flooded the parking lot to simulate) on a course out at the PNE. This wasn&#8217;t the course for anyone who likes to take it easy as Nadeau kept pushing me to speed up, slam the brakes, take the corner faster; I was sure I would crash, but didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>The most important take away from the event was that if you are trying to use winter tires in the summer, just don&#8217;t. I tested out winter tires vs all seasons on the same vehicle and the performance was vastly different. Winter tires don&#8217;t allow the car to stop anywhere near where all seasons are when you slam on the brakes and they slip all over the road when cornering. The other difference was less drastic, but indeed noticeable. We put the Michelin Premier A\/S tires against the most highly rated of the competition and I did notice a difference in performance as I stopped sooner and slid less. I did this twice just to be sure I wasn&#8217;t being unduly influenced as the event was indeed sponsored by the tire company. MICHELIN\u00ae Premier&#x2122; A\/S tire promises shorter stopping on wet roads, hydroplaning resistance and increased grip, and I certainly felt safer in these.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s some tips for driving as well. I learned a lot about keeping two hands on the wheel.<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Michelin-Premier-AS-Tire.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"26609\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/driving-tips-with-carl-nadeau-michelin\/michelin-premier-as-tire\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Michelin-Premier-AS-Tire.jpg?fit=480%2C579&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"480,579\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1384959541&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Michelin Premier AS Tire\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Michelin-Premier-AS-Tire.jpg?fit=480%2C579&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-26609\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Michelin-Premier-AS-Tire-248x300.jpg?resize=248%2C300\" alt=\"Michelin Premier AS Tire\" width=\"248\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Michelin-Premier-AS-Tire.jpg?resize=248%2C300&amp;ssl=1 248w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Michelin-Premier-AS-Tire.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check Your Tires:<\/strong> After all, tires are the only part of your car that touches the road.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check your tires for wear \u2013 Using the \u201cPenny Test\u2019\u2019, put the edge of the coin into the tread with the Queen going in head first. If the top of the Queen&#8217;s head is covered by tread, that&#8217;s good. If the top of her head is entirely visible, it&#8217;s time to replace the tire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Check the air pressure \u2013 Tires have been known to lose up to 1 psi (pounds per square inch) of pressure every month. Use a proper pressure gauge to check pressure when tires are cold (before driving or three hours after driving). Make sure your tires are inflated to the psi on the sticker inside the driver\u2019s door of your car. DO NOT compare to the psi on your tire\u2019s sidewall.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t mix tires \u2013 If you\u2019re replacing only two new tires instead of four, be sure they are the same size and type as the current ones. Always install the new tires on the rear axle of your vehicle, which will reduce the risk of fishtailing and loss of stability in wet conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Wet Driving:<\/strong> Wet road conditions present dangers like less grip and longer stopping distance.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Slow down. Slowing down dramatically decreases the risk of accidents in rainy conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Always drive with two hands on the steering wheel.<\/li>\n<li>Slow down before turning and maintain a consistent speed throughout the turn.<\/li>\n<li>While turning, don\u2019t make sudden steering wheel movements.<\/li>\n<li>Only brake in a straight line before the turn and do so gradually. Do not brake during the turn.<\/li>\n<li>Increase your following distance from other cars to allow for more stopping range.<\/li>\n<li>If hydroplaning, do not accelerate or brake suddenly. Keep your foot lightly on the gas and steer the car forward until your tires regain traction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more tips on safe driving, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michelin.ca\/tires-101\/driving-and-safety-tips\/driving-tips.page\">http:\/\/www.michelin.ca\/tires-101\/driving-and-safety-tips\/driving-tips.page<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pre-Crash Phase<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I do a ton of road trips in the summer, I jumped at the opportunity to hang out with professional race car driver, Carl Nadeau to pick up some driving tips for summer conditions.
