[who's ur daddy?]

I bought Dunlop Wintersport 3D's and I'm still sliding all over the place! Mind you, they're in the fricken' trunk. The used rims I got seem to have too high an offset, so I have to buy a spacer methinks.

In any event, the OEM Sport tires are useless in this weather. USELESS. They're summer rubber of course, so I shouldn't b!tch, but I will anyways.

Get yourself some decent winters peeps. I could not stop with the Potenzas at all.

You're lucky your car is still in one piece.

No kidding. Even trying to stop from 30km/h was quite the experience.

Crazy GTA. Gotta get those on in Oct like everyone out here in the west.

Stay safe out there, you guys are gonna get it for that hot fall you had!

I still have my RFTs on.. Oh shoot!
Time for some fun!! DRIFFFTT-OOOOOOOOOOOO TIMEE!

[kalch]

i wouldn't even bother driving on the stuff we have today or summer rubber. the rubber will freeze and no traction. Wait a few hours for the salters to be out, and ruin them with salt.

I hear ya. But I had no choice - tried to do the changeover too late. Reminds me of the story from grade school - the squirrel who didn't store any nuts until it was way too late.

I couldn't even get out of my parking spot this morning. Luckily I don't need to be anywhere. I'm putting the winters on tonight.

[Slke46]

I was lucky to change over two weeks ago, the wait for some of these places is like 1 week. But the drive this morning was great with my all-season... except I drove the X5 today. lol...

[slc35i]

Lucky me, I've just spent 3 hours waiting last night and the snow tires are on the car now. Just in time for this weather.

[trickydisco]

I don't have anywhere I need to be today.
I'll throw on the snows after the weekend,
as long as the roads are clear.

good luck and lets hope your car still remains in 1 piece!!

I would say you'll actually get more of the car with winter tires, stock rfts cant even go 20-30km/h

tell me about it, I tried getting downtown today from richmond, traffic is bad, the ground is wet... and what's more? People are too slow... It took me 1.5 hours to get to D/T from no.2 road

wtf mate

[picus]

I feel bad for Soni; last night he asked me if he should put his winters on. I told him I thought it'd just be wet this morning. Sorry Soni, I hope you're alive!

[aspiring335]

Come on guys, I'm in Vancouver and even I have my winters on already! OK so it was just yesterday that I put them on, but I was already noticing how bad the summers were even at 6 degrees, let alone in snow.

i need to get a jack from cdn tire.

I almost got stuck in my driveway...Newmarket got so much snow this morning. I had to press the DTC button to get going cuz i was trying to accelerate uphill. Surprisingly I had no problems turning as the DSC did its job to perfection. But standstill starts are a bit tough...I had to be really careful on the GO pedal. Overall I'm quite happy with its performance in the tough conditions today. I felt safer in this car than in my old A4.

As soon as I drop my wife off at work...I drop straigh to my sis's house to swap the winter set...took me more than 30 min just to clear her driveway so I can drive up into the gaurage. Now I am all good.
