First Moderate snowfall for TORONTO ...

and on my way home from work ... my Max is ICE SKATING everywhere on the Road!!! And its NOT even ICE ... its just SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!


Every stop light ... It takes like an extra 3 meters at least to stop (and I'm going SLOW too)

ABS comes on like Crazy!!!!

and I'm SLIDING around!!!!!!!


ANYONE IN TORONTO NEED SNOW TIRES TOO??? MAYBE WE CAN GET A GROUP DEAL SOMEWHERE?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!??!?!??!???!

 

emp! you got that prob too? do you have the 17" se wheels with the potenza ****s? they suck in the snow...im down here in syracuse,ny, but used to live about 20 min from kingston. in fact, used to drive through t-town going back to wisconsin via the 401. i used to work at a tire place, and the best snow tires out are the michelin pilot alpins, or the blizzak lm-22. getting a set soon or i wont have much of a max left! stay warm and keep out of the slushy **** on the side of the road!

 

Yeppers ... My SE/AE is still Stock ... and those 17" with POTENZA's are Sheitty!! hehe

THANX for the Suggestions ... I'm gonna goto a FEW places to see where I can get the BEST price!

 

realizing it's only a personal opinion..never the less..the best snows out there are Nokian Haakepelitta 1's. With studs in these, you get absolutely no spinning on acceleration, and they stop on a dime, both in snow and on ice

i picked mine up in Pickering. They were $200.oo each, on my stock 16" alloy rims..but this is definately a "get what you pay for situation"...thats studded of course! they are T rated to 190 km/hr. I've only had them up to 180...no problem man. they run straight and hug the road, wet dry slush or ice

I just drove for the first time in the snow in Connecticut. I have the SE with 17's the car didn't handle to bad once I got going but from a start they just spun. We all know we have the power to cut into traffic with just the smallest space, but when I went to pull out and the tires lite up under little pressure to the gas I spent the rest of the day driving like a granny.....
