Default Cold Weather on S03's

Yesterday I was reminded about surface temps with S03's, and it was wet on top of that. Not that anything happened, but don't take tire adhesion you had last month for granted this month... Just a little Groholm around a corner.

Light throttle, steering, and braking time of year again....

There should still be a lot of good weekends left, I hope

I sure hope too... I just recently put on new SO2s. I have to be extra careful though as my tires are nice and greasy now, ala Thomas style!

I was driving to wellesley on sunday and slight rain and the roads were wet. on S02's that are probably slightly worn.

but taking the onramp from 295 to 95, my rear end slowly got loose but i was able to correct it by steering to the direction which I was sliding. but it was scary nonetheless. good thing I didn't drop my bagel..

Sounds like a good idea, I've been doing the Starksy & Hutch tail flapping turns when I can, it's hard to get it into the next gear while the car is going crazy.
