It snowed here today. (if you can call it snow) We got maybe 1/2" of the white stuff and it caused so many of the southerners to drive so bad that my 10 minute drive to work took 45 minutes. There were accidents everywhere. I drove the ti even with it's summer tires because I wanted to see how traction control works on slick roads. I had no problem, don't understand why so many others did. | | | | | 02-10-2006, 04:11 AM | #10 | | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 |

I've had snows on since Thanksgiving. Haven't gotten to use them once. Snow is on the way. Oh joy. You think people can't drive in snow in your part of the woods? People can't drive on dry in the Washington DC area. __________________ ...steven

We do have plows and sand/salt trucks, but 10 per county just doesn't cut it. | | | | | 02-10-2006, 01:42 PM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |
Summer tires are worthless when it comes to snow.
I was going so slow when I slid off the road.
Minutes before I managed to go up a hill, slightly sideways.
The off camber road did me in. __________________ ...steven
