Blizzaks...get thee hence!

zzzbullseye · 02-25-2010, 05:48 PM

With all due apologies to our snow besieged brothers from the Northeast (and the upper plains states too I suppose), I think I'm gonna take the snows off this weekend and put my summers back on. The 10 day forecast looks fairly non-threatening and I'm thinking we may be in the clear here in the STL... Anybody else feeling frisky?

So tired of the snow right now.

Dang, that reminds me, I never took my summer tires off! I guess I can hold off a while longer.

I badly want to put my summer tires on...

I got Blizzaks as well and while they seem very good in snow and dry conditions, their unidirectional thread is a bitch when I get out of my garage... I have a very steep driveway and when I back-off from my garage and it's snowy, the tires have zero grip and the car slides from the front in a scary way!
