Re: If you dont have winter tires on your car stay home

the roads today were just freaking brutal especially in the NW but it almost seems little to no work has been done to them..

saw lots of trucks out working, just seems like this crap won't scrape off!

Why is it that there are guys that insist on driving their bitchin Mustangs around during this weather...and WITH all seasons! I helped push 2 up an off ramp today.

I have Winter rated all seasons on the Golf, I do have Winters for it too though. I used the golf for around town (not Calgary) and it did ok.

For the last couple of days we've been driving the SUV as it has an extra 2 driven wheels and good winter rubber.

I've had no issues in my Golf with my winter tires. Not driving like an idiot makes a big difference. One of my co-workers was bitching that he as summers on his Mustang. I told him you can tell by reading the tire and just looking that they are low pro tires lol.

Apparently Quebec finished a study of the effects of their mandatory snow tire requirement and found a 18% reduction in crashes during the first full year of the by-law.

I'm taking transit and don't have to deal with traffic, stupid soccer moms and asians who floor the gas to try to move on solid ice.

But I have no problem getting around on all-seasons, I believe a lot of it has to due with the driver.

Also, grewup driving in Newfoundland winters, where there is an abundance of moisture, and when you spin tires on that wet snow, it turns to ice instantly.

theyre definetly out plowing.
i got stuck behind a 3 wide snowplow crew doing memorial this morning. ended up behind them right at 16th ave NW, and had to follow them all the way to edmonton trail.
i got smart in kensington and ducked down a side road for a few blocks to get ahead.
they were crawling along. good to see they are finally plowing properly though

roads were dry and nice in vancouver.

supposed to snow this weekend though, i expect 500% turmoil and more ridiculousness than is entirely warranted.
