Go with all season tires if your on a budget. If you have cash to blow get a set of summer tires and a set of winter tires.

 

drove to work in the beater Camry ftw

 

I couldnt get off my block due to ice which sucks. BTW what does FTW mean?

 

For The Win!!!

 

I have Avon all seasons. I drove around yesterday while it was snowing and today to work (only work 3 miles away from home though). I had no problems. Didn't notice the DSC come on at all.

 

i drove in the icy road today.. i felt pretty confident going fast on 495 and local highways...

my car has BFG G-Force KDW's. they drove fine in the snow.. what kind of tires are they? thanks

 

i was able to drive while it was snowing but around 6pm.. i couldn't get our of my community... landon knows... so many slopes and hills and bumps to get on teh main road. well snow is cleared out and i went to cherry hill darcars mazda to look at a speed6 they supose to have in stock... spent 30 mins looking for it and one of the sales people told my salesman that that car was stolen 200 days ago... haha how does a car get stolen at the dealership? '- '? but yeah im keeping the 8... im hoping no more snow!!!

 

Get a set of cheap rims with snow tires. The stock tires are crap when it gets cold. No snow required.

 

finally got the stock wheels with the blizzaks on after having the wheel locks broken off my aftermarket wheels due to a lost wheel lock key ...good times.

bring on the snow baby

 

Keep saying that and you are going to get what you wish for. We are under a snow watch tonight....

 

I'm with you! My $1400 wheels and blizzaks are such a waste so far. Everyone told me I just HAD to buy snow tires. Phooey!

 

you can always sell them to our northern neighbors lol

but as this winter has shown, unless you REALLY have to drive during a blizzard, a good set of all-seasons is all you really need here in good ol' Baltimore-Washington area

 

lol ive been taking the metro when it snows.

 

Playdoh, what color is your 8 because I see your in CP and I have passed a black one MANY times down there.

 

there is no point in getting snow tires. you'll only use them for a couple days of the year. save your money and get something else.

 

agreed to Danomite

 

I just love those weathermen, they dont call for it and it hits us and my snow tires are sittin in the shed and I put em on afterwards and theyve called for snow how many times since then? and we've gotten how much??

Oh well...I think Im the only one on here thats hoping for snow any way

 

Well far as the snow goes.. we dont really need any.. cuz this freakin cold that is hovering over MD.. is pissin me off.. freakin hands are cold even with gloves.. and i have to be at school 8am.. and the money to drive through the carwash is becoming a waste.. (to cold to hand wash.. :-D)

 

agreed...you know its cold when the water freezes on your car before you can dry it...true story

 

its cold out... i miss the track, anyone here goto MIR? or you guys more Capital?

 

Capital here since its only 20 mins away. MIR is a lil ways SOUTH

 

how is capital? as far as tracks go? sticky? good alt? and how many runs would you get on a busy night?

 

I dont run my car up there, a few of my boys do. As far as the track it seems pretty sticky and they usually get a good amount of runs in (provided they win).

 

hmm thanks dan, i think i'll hold off on new tires tll next year . so are we going to have another meet..? lol...

 

true that may be.. but considering that the carwash thing dries it fairly well.. havent had anyproblems.. its just a lil to cold to give the car a good hand job. ya know?
