We had a lots of snow today.....and whenever I stop the car I get stuck.....and whenever I brake it skids it seems like I'm drifting.....my Pirelli P7000 is "Terrible" and "Terrible" and very "Terrible" so I was going to change back to my stock and my lug lock got broken piece of lock nut got crack......did that ever happen to anybody??

 

I had someone strip a stud on my rotor and couldn't get a wheel off, that really sucks when stuff like that happens...

I hear you on the drift king part. My Potenzas sucked when they were new. Now that they are bald, they're even worse. I sat in one place spinning in the snow trying to go forward for 5 mins today. Sheesh.

 

Yep, the Max was parked today, and probably tomorrow. Had the wife's Escape, man that thing is awesome in the snow and it's only FWD.

 

Stop lying Woo, it didn't snow today!...

I "worked" from home

Take it to a decent tire shop. They should be able to remove it. Hell, if thieves can do it without a key... the pros should be able to remove it one way or another.

It snows about 1 foot here and I think I lost over 25% tread on my front tires trying to get to work. Lets just say 19s arnt made to drive in the snow. But I had no choice, I had to be at work.

damn Dixit,

Ur nuts for drivin around in the snow with those wheels on!

 

are you running summer tires in the snow? man, that must have been scary...

 

Wide tires are much worse in the snow then narrow tires. The reason being is that the skinnier tire has more pounds per square inch pushing it down so it digs into the snow. Wide tires are like driving on skis! On one of my old cars, I got the winter tires in a narrower size - big difference!

Any chance of putting on your stock rims with snows or did you upgrade the rotors? Looks like its gonna be a bad winter

 

No chance since I never bought the car with stock wheels. The dealer took them off when I picked them up and I put my chromes on since we made a deal that way.
