eh, not fun. interesting trying to drive a car that won't start moving, won't stop moving, and won't change direction. maybe spring will come some day.....

nate-who's digging out the shovels. looks like the first event may require a bit of work to have something to drive on that isn't frozen water.

 

Yeah, any kind of hp rubber aint no fun in the snow. I remember years ago getting caught in a freak may snow storm on almost bald 305-40-16 Mickey Thomson street drag tires on a pony car... Another time, a late april storm with sorta worn 225-45-16 A520s on a Prelude was almost as bad...

 

man i hate driving in the snow. i'm not running falkens, but even then it still sucks... and yes it does snow in az!

 

I had the same problem. I couldn't even move in my friends flat driveway in Tahoe. I got some snow tires on stellies and now it rips. There's just something surreal about passing an expedition in the snow, in a turn, with my friends waving to the suv driver. The weekend warriors look at each other an say "did I just get passed by an integra?" Four wheel drifts are sooo fun.

 

Even good falkens are bad in the snow. What were you thinking?

 

Not in Tucson

 

Snow is the reason I traded 15" GSR wheels and bald tires
for 13" VXs with new all-seasons. The occassional dry road
lets me explore the light wheel thing. So far I like the VXs better.

 

Just mounted my brand new Azenis Friday...

After messing around in a couple large parking lots...the white stuff started to fall.

I live @ the bottom of a hill that makes the "corkscrew" @LS look lame.

I had to do some interesting controlled sliding to make it into my driveway.

Azenis+snow= You can drift too! Even @ 20mph.

 

Just get some cheap steel rims with an affordable all weather tires, better than risking damage or totaling your car.

 

i had just taken my 185 snow tires off!! i was calling bs on the weather.

snow + Azenis suck! After this blizzard, I didn't even want to attempt driving in this weather. I know how bad it gets after hitting a couple of curbs.

 

solo x thanks for your recent help.
I think the weight of these cars alone makes them sketchy in snow. Even my 185 potenza winter tires barely cut it.

 

i don't run Azenis but i do run on the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 which isn't as bad as the Azenis and i couldn't get any traction in the snow. It's best to have a set of winters.

 

I have Azenies and for a while I just kept a shovel in my car because I always got stuck

 

Yeah jetta+bald falkens+ ice patch= $2200bill
thankk god for insurance

 

hmmmm........4-8 inches of the white stuff predicted for today. my front tires have exactly 1/32 of tread depth, the rears have, well, you can see the tread pattern, but it ain't quite measureable. this should be fun.....

nate-who thinks he put on the summer tires just a _touch_ too early. gives me an excuse to leave work early though!

 

so i went home early. heard on the radio something about a 100+ cars up on 95 bangin into each other. great. i don't like being able to spin the tires in 5th gear while rolling at 5mph, without popping the clutch.

WINTER SUX! WHY WON'T IT BE SPRING ALREADY!!!!

nate-white coats? why is everything white?!?!? padded walls...... i like hugging myself...... oooh, and the happy pills!
