snow tires on my car have completely changed my winter driving experience. As much fun to play in the snow as going WOT with my turbo!

Today it is around 80 degrees and partly cloudy, just got back from a drive. Perfect top down weather.

i was able to test out my blizzaks on snow for the past 2 days. Awesome grip. Made the car feel lot safer. Snow tires FTW.

Snow tires would be really nice, I think I would be more concerned with the other stupid drivers though. Soccer moms with 4wd thinking they own the road make me cringe.
