from a stop it took nearly 1/4 to finally get traction, and the car randomly glides around at low speeds...which is totally awesome when driving 30 miles to work. coming home should be even better w00t!

so am I gonna burn out my diff or anything w/ all this spinning?

 

Hopefully they'll put some salt/sand down in a bit.
Sure looks nice out there, though!

 

if you were tapping rev limitter for a 1/4 mile, tossing rooster tails everywhere... the diff might be a bit angry... but not burnt up.

i just hope it clears up before Friday.. I sure would hate to get caught in Nova (or on the way up/down).

 

Have fun but keep it safe.

 

what is wrong with you people that refuse to buy winter tires?

 

i make out ok w/o tires... it the non-driving idiots out there that clog the roads and can't use their suv correctly that **** me off.

 

snow in charlotte?

RJ - who has 235/40/17 ES100's on the blingmw

As long as it doesn't snow more than a few inches, my generic tires will get me around fine. However, snow tires will probably be purchased soon because expecting under a few inches for the rest of the season is totally unrealistic in upstate NY.

 

snow + es100s 0wn3d me too... slipppppy everywhere.

instead of fighting it though, i got winter tires... ...and a winter beater be careful!!!

 

They were really good in the rain, so I was suckered into thinking they would be tolerable in the snow....lol @ myself

Yeah, but anything other than a snow tire isn't going to be tolerable in the snow.

 

Yeah think about driving a 2000lb civic with ES100's on solid ice roads. My car needs a new passenger fender, bumper, headlight, and corner light thanks to ice.

but it was my own fault. All i had to do was switch on my all season tires but I got lazy and figured the ice would melt in a day or so.

it didn't.

lol hey man my tires are for track and they did fine in the snow today.

 

Okay, ice is a different story.

 

I'm down with Bbasso (Rob) keep it safe

 

i have es100's on my prelude.. was fun when it snowed here a little last saturday night.. made for a long ride home from the city though..

 

LOL
I live in Richmond and most of the interstates (I95 and I64 I295) were parking lots. My ES 100s did abysmally and I barely got home.

 

Drive safe out there

 

at least your not one of those people whose ITR's have azenis on them in the snow.

 

I have ES100's on my car and they worked great in the ice storm portland oregon saw last weekend. I have some fun drifting on the highways, but they handled well as long as you realize your driving on ice and drive slow.

 

Just bought some yokahoma wintergaurds. put them on crv wheels. Completely happy with them. Only 386 otd from Discount tire. I went to the local honda dealer and talked to a buddy in parts. He got me the take off wheels for 20 bucks! It's a lot better than attempthing everything on Kuhmo mx's!

 

Don't come crying and became a statistic money grip, buy some snows!

The Tire Rack has five different winter tires in the stock size for $68 to $86 per tire, and they'll sell a set of steel wheels for $168 and the mounting/balancing is included. So you can get the whole package for as little as $440 plus shipping. That's a much better deal than trying to get by on your summer tires, sliding into something, and paying the deductible on your insurance and waiting a few weeks for your bodywork to get fixed...

 

snow is fun at moderate speeds....
