8 In The Snow

[Huzer21]

I'm in the same boat. It'll probably be easier to remove all 4 and leave the car on jackstands than try and drive around.

That's what I did last year when I got my all seasons on. It does well when snow is packed down hard but this soft stuff is horrible. Next year I'm going to put on some snows. Hopefully I'll have some new wheeles so I can put snows on the Mazda wheels and have spring/summer/fall wheels.

'Tis the way to do it.

It's official...the 8 sucks in the snow! I bought some Pirelli Snowports (winter tires not snow tires) that were $600+ and I was everywhere yesterday in that snow. Don't waste your money on winter tires and I wasn't driving reckless this time. I was actually being careful and almost slid into an 18 wheelers trailer. I was desperately looking for another 8 out there to see if they were as paranoid as I was. Well she's parked in the garage until this mess melts. I caught a ride with hubby this morning.

I've been able to tip toe through the snow thus far with my summer tires. I wouldn't try anything deep, or any steep inclines, though.

In all fairness, what was coming down yesterday during the evening commute was very slippery.

perhaps I am, but I ain't blaming it on my ride by selling it.

kitty litter? I didn't know you had a cat.

[rx8ghost]

God I hate cats but it's that or sand and at least I can give the kitty litter way and not have a beach in my trunk.

cause a kitty litter beach is much nicer in your car. That will up the resale value. j/k

I did too- but that was from the liberal use of the PARKING brake!

+1 on that. Monday's junk was very weird. LOTS of ice everywhere. So I can probably say that the stock 3 Eagle RS-As are passable in the light snow, but horrible on ICE.
