Just got back from a 390 mile mountain drive all went great till we stopped at Mosquito Lake,CA I kept hearing this strange noise, but the car was not running. The noise got louder and then I saw the cowboy hat going up and down between the trees, then I knew what that noise was COW BELLS. I lost count at a little over 300 so I would guess 425 to 450 head, so we waited till they passed. For those who don't know where Mosquito Lake is, it is on Hwy 4 up at around 8000 feet and the road is 1 1/2 lanes wide(thats why there is no center line) so we had to wait for the damn cows to go by.

Well I can say these FFI 500 tires suck big time on cow-crap and piss. Even at 7 MPH the car pushed in the turns, this lasted for 4 miles. After we got through the cow-crap and piss the tires worked good again on dry pavement. I just hope they work better in the rain than they did on cow-crap and piss. We washed the car at the first car wash we drove by, I got the side of the car and the wheel wells clean but I think the first time it rains my wifes S is going to smell like the country(and we're city folk).

Are you going to do a comprehensive test with other tire brand and models driving through feces and urine? LOL

God. I hope not. Even the VSA kicked on going around a corner at less than 10 mph because it was so slick. In all my miles(well over 20k miles) up in the mountain's this is the first time I've ran into a cattle drive. Hope it's the last one to.

Hmmm... but also consider, those dungs come with grease and slime and that's just how they are invented. And the only difference is they're not cold like a snow... but they do act like a black ice on a road. So it may not just be your tires fault.
Cow's got the victory.... this round!

Well I'll win the next round, I'm going to be buying a lot of STEAKS to get even.

I love Ebbett's Pass! Never been past Spicer in the S2000, but been all the way over in the Accord. Beautiful and not over-traveled.
