Is it almost summer tire time?
My S02s are getting very impatient.
They look at me with puppy eyes everytime I see them.
They want to replace the blizzak and go out to have fun.
When are you guys switching tires?

Why just NJ peeps?! Well im from CT and my rears are done! 2 years of winter driving and hard driving at that. I am to the point now where im just ripping the clutch out and drifting the rear end all the time! My new clutch will get done either right before or right after Asheville depending on milage.

My S02's go on the car NEXT WEEKEND. Snow/rain/cold weather this monday! Summer come chants Pinky.

We might just get cheated out of a summer again this year.
There is no sign of spring......

never drive it in the snow....have a beater for that. and if you remember correctly from when i first joined the board i got caught by surprise on my b-day (first snow storm in NJ this winter) and some guy clipped me in the front and i spun out and smacked up against a wall. ever since then if there is any chance of snow i'm not going anywhere in my car. but other than that i drive it around all the time in the s-02s

Get some decent snow tires and you should be ok.
It may still skid and slide a little like other RWD.

My wife wouldn't keep a beater.
I'm still trying to convince her to.
