Well when everyone was talking about the OEM SO2's not gripping in the snow, they were absolutely correct. Upon arriving to work late afternoon, the weather was asking for some snow to accumulate on the grass but the streets would be clear. So I figured that on the commute home at night would just be wet. I work the second shift so I get off at 12:45. To my surprise a little after lunch the snow came down like a blanket. And currently it is still snowing. I moved my Stook to an upper parking spot and needed some help by fellow co-workers. For everyone that is new to this car... DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE ON SNOW with the SO2's. My car will be up at work for at least a few days... So Sad

No need for new tires now. Summer is around the corner. Now next year will be a different story.

I purchased the Pirelli P-zero tires for my 19' rims. The tires are great off season and on. I hate that they wear easy.

DAMN, I can not believe you tried to drive in this shit!!! I had 2.5 feet of snow to get rid of this morning (heavy wet stuff not that cool powder). You may be able to move your car as soon as this afternoon though, this stuff is melting fast. Let me know if you need a ride anywhere!

Kwando,
That is just nutty. I parked my car Monday night in preparation for the snow...that and my temp tags expired. Hey, was that you I saw a few weeks back at the Tech Center? It was around 5:00pm and we were both driving west on Dry Creek.
