It's not the snow that annoys me at all. It's the incredible amounts of salt the city feels should be poured on the roads to make it "better". Oh wait.. no.. it makes it worse most of the time. Snow + Salt = Slush. Slush is harder to get traction in than compacted snow. Why not just plow the streets? If you don't have snow tires to deal with the little amount of snow that's left on the streets, then too bad. But oh no, we'd rather have slushy streets and rusty cars. Yes, that's the better way.
I think if you live in a state where it snows, and you don't have snow tires, then you're an idiot. I've gone a couple days where it has snowed (and stuck) and had to deal with my 3 season tires (all seasons.. lol), and wow. Holy no traction batt-man. I can't wait to see how horrible my 18" perelli performance tires are in the snow, hopefully I wont get to. Slap a good pair of snows on some steel wheels, and you're good to go. Speaking of which, I'm still looking for steel wheels for my tC. Does anyone know of ANYONE who sells them yet? If I still can't find any, ill see if a camry 5 lugnut wheel does. Maybe that will work?
