When people speak of Upstate NY I'm always amused by the varying definitions. For years most denizens of NYC referred to anything north of the Tappan Zee bridge or in AC 914 as upstate.I'm located 25 mi ESE of Syracuse and the tiny hamlet of Pratts Hollow is about 5 miles away. It is the Exact Geographical center of NYS so technically I'm from Central NY!
I guess io really be considered Upstate you'd have to be from Saratoga north to Plattsburgh! BTW Just installed a set on Nokian WRg3's on an AUDI 2007 A6 Avant (245/45 x 17) I just bought last week. Be interesting to see how they compare to the 225/55x16 R2's on our '06 A6 Avant. I wanted the best snow I could find for the miserable secondary roads on the edge of the snowbelt for the car my wife and daughter are using most of the time. I'll use the WRG3 car for long trips & highway use, we'll see if these WRG3's are as good as Nokian's advertising says they are!
