I am glad I decided to wait now. My daily drive includes the hills in the sprinville/concord/colden area. I usually swap in the first couple weeks of april. ---

I saw snow on my porch this morning and was none too pleased, but nothing stuck on the ground, there was no salt, and I had a perfectly fine drive into work. Hopefully the snow holds off until I need to go home, though. ---

I’m not saying Snows are a waste, or universally unecessary. I just don’t feel that EVERYONE needs them. I had my mustang out last night, on Proxy4s. I didn’t die. :gotme: ---

Didn’t die using a 2100lb RWD car on all-seasons to drive to work this morning. But that is unpossibles from what I hear. ---

I didn’t die. :gotme: Anyone who would try to run all winter on summer tires rated N/A for snow/ice is retarded. One day because you get a freak late snowstorm, fine, but make sure you realize just how little traction you’ll have. All seasons are fine for the majority of people if they just drive for the conditions but real summer tires are simply unsafe, regardless of your skill. Anyone who’s seen me autocross knows I’m comfortable going sideways as much as straight, but taking the s curve near work at 6mph I still wasn’t fully in control today and had one of those “oh shit” moments where I thought I might tag the curb. ---

Jay I assume you’ve replaced the stock 18’s that came on the goat, right? Those were actually semi-manageable in the snow if absolutely necessary.
