The tires, unfortunately, are the Continental ExtremeContact DWS These tires aren't great, even by all-season standards. They're three winters old, but I've never really been satisfied with the grip they offer. I thought I was saving a few bucks, but in the end I'm just paranoid everywhere I drive when these tires are on the car. From now on, I'm just going to get proper winter tires. Of course, the short wheel base and rear-wheel drive aren't doing me any favors either.
The drive in this morning was fine for the most part, as I kept it at 45 or under all the way in. I'd have to slow down more going over some patches however, as the car just felt like the back end was aching to break loose. If we get another dose of snow or cold like we've had in the last week, I'll just get Blizzaks right away...and then I'll work from home because I'm getting too old to keep fighting Chicago weather/roads.
Cheers.

It was much warmer in our part of Canada today, so no more Canadian igloo jokes okay
