The GTP just blows. I don’t know if it’s the car or the tires. I’m guessing the tires - Potenza RE-950s. I’m going to have to get some Blizzaks and maybe another set of rims. What about you other Grand Prix guys? How are yours in snow? ---

No so sure on the grand prix but Civic Si’s with oem tires are meant for tropical climates. I could barely make it out of my neighborhood this AM because any way I go is a hill and it was all white as far as i could see. I need studded snow tires ASAP ---

it’s really the 275/40/17 performance tires I blame for lack of snow traction lol, to damn wide, snow just packs in the grooves, then stays in there, makes it look like a slick heh ---

that statement doesn’t make sense because that’s how snow tires work, the snow packs in all the small grooves of the tires and sticks to itself creating traction ---
