I mounted my Falkens today, since one of my snow tires is about to burst at the sidewall. I appologize in advance for the forthcoming blizzard that I'm sure I have sparked.

Think snow!

 

Heh...last year I got brave and mounted my summers in late March or early April (don't recall exactly). Naturally, we got snow the following weekend.

The ol' 712s are surprisingly competent in light snow.

 

Ha!

<--- has snow tires for the R

Cannot stop me w00t!

 

You can't stop me, either...we haven't had much snow this winter (not complaining). Oh well, at least I've burned a few miles off the snow tires.

 

I thought it only snowed during the winter, and winter was over like two months ago

-travis, who's lived in AZ so long he sometimes forgets that rain can freeze

 

Snow? What's that?



Looks like it's gonna be a nice race weekend out here.

 

heh we had snow last week, and i live south of Atlanta.

 

I Apologize as well, I may have further aggravated Old man winter by taking my snow blower back to the basement (hopefully for the foreseeable future).

 

I'm originally from Ohio, lived north of Columbus for 24 years, snow is my friend!!. Now I live in Charlotte, we got 12" of snow and people were freaking out. I think I was the only one on the roads, until I got scared cause stupid people were slamming on there brakes and sliding everywhere. So I went back home and built a snow man, since Charlotte was closed due to snow, yes I said all of Charlotte. I've never heard of a snow day from work. What a blessed thing, it is like a snow day from school all over again!

 

72 degrees today, and snow in the forecast for sunday and monday. no summer tires for me yet. i love living in PA.

 

Damn you, we got 6 inches of the white **** last night! Thankfully the Snolvo is in full effect (86 Volvo 240 DL wagon w/213,000 miles)

 

My Azenises ARE my snow tires. The RA-1s are in the house staying warm.


Matt

 

Last Friday, I was home from work - office closed due to 6" or so of snow.

Today, the forecast high is 81 degrees. One of the computer models shows a chance of something frozen falling next week.

Gotta love NC weather. Don't like it? Wait a day or two - it'll change.

 

At least the weather changes by the day, instead of by the hour like it does in New England

heh. Similar story here. Though I moved to Atlanta. When it snows here (and it does once a year at least) the entire city shuts down. People sack the grocery stores for all the bread, canned goods and bottled water they can fit in their car. For an inch of snow that sticks around for about an hour and a half.
Then all the northerners that are transplanted try to drive, and only too late realize that they don't salt the roads, and the bridges freeze.
Good stuff.

 

The Falkens in the thick Ohio/Michigan snow were my snow tires, then I got the bright idea of putting my extra Potenzas up front with Azenis in the back: should have died three or four times.

Michigan weather &lt;= Ohio weather (&lt; the rest of the world)

but

Michigan snow control &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Ohio snow control

I've been contemplating the return to non-snow street tires as well. If your rash actions haven't screwed us over by next week its a done deal.

 

That's ok. If you ever run a race with me, you're guaranteed dry conditions because I finally bought some dirt stockers!

 

HA So true, my wife and I went to the grocery store for legit reasons after the snow here in NC and the shelves of bread were bare and there was limited milk. My wife and I just laughed. People batton down the hatches for 2 days of snow. Heck in Ohio it would just be a normal day. I love crazy people they make me laugh and curse...why curse I'm a insurance claims adjuster and I have to deal with all the stupid people that wreck. Boy could I tell you guys some stories about what people tell me...ha.

Heh. I took my snows off 2 weeks ago when it was nice here and put my summer Kumho 711s on, and wouldn't you know it snowed 2 days later. Good thing the 711s had full tread . . . they were still a little slippery though.

 

I knew it. I'm in NC the whole week and the weather in PA is fine. The day after I come back, ******* snow.

P.S. Virginia has been added to my list of states that should be bombed out of existence. Only there can two DOT trucks with flashing arrows hold up traffic for an hour and a half, closing 2 out of 3 lanes, for nothing.

I was tempted to ram my car into one of them and create a flaming wreck so that I could feel like I waited in traffic FOR A ******* REASON
