This morning on the way to work I realized how bad A520s suck in snow. We had a freakish storm last night that only put about 1" on the ground, but that's 1" too much for those tires. She spun around on me in town and I had a choice...clip a Cherokee with my drivers side CTR lamp or put her on the sidewalk and risk a wheel. I chose the sidewalk and passed the Cherokee. If you want an interesting driving experience this winter...throw on your summer wheels. Wooooooooo. |

Nope. Managed to hit the curb just right. It was a low curb (Thank God). No damage at all. Just a little show at the intersection for the woman in the Jeep. |

heh, I have high performance all seasons on my GA (the tank), and I was sliding around like a mofo. It wasn't too pretty. |

I managed to make it from Old Westmont to Osborne St. before sliding onto the sidewalk. I hate freakish early/late storms. I got caught in one in the spring the day after I put my wheels on. We should get some good donut videos while it's still icy before it melts. |
