Don't mind Rx8Lover... He is incapable of courtesy and love. It has all gone into his car and he has no more to spare for anyone or anything else.
Anyways... I didn't mind the video. I liked how your friends kept mentioning how quiet the car was.
I have a question.
What tires are you running on? They did really well in the snow. I had my first run in with a decent accumulation of snow and I actually got stuck in the middle of the street. I would have been driving my truck but the starter stopped working on it so I had no choice but to test the 8 in the snow. It failed... well, actually the tires failed. So, I want to get some snow tires for my 8. Just incase the truck breaks again.

thanks,
-JiM

i'm running some sort of 225/55/17 semperit tires. i'll have to check to see exactly what they are cuz i just got them with a package deal. but i'm very happy with them, i honestly think my rx8 does better in the snow than my fiance's mazda6.

Yeah, that must have been it. I was expecting some drifting, watched it once and then deleted, never noticed the file name, damn my subliminal mind..

The vid is OK. It's a sweet looking blue sliding around in a snow filled lot. It could be much shorter, but it's an owner having fun. I'm looking forward to the next snow (after seeing the vid and remembering my only snow thus far this winter), this winter's been too dry and too warm (global warming?). The girls are smoking cigs/joints? but you never see them, so don't d/l looking for hot chicks (although I'm sure they are).

I loved the video! It reminded me when I used to do the same in my 12A RX-7 whenever I went to the beach back home in Puerto Rico.

Are you sure they're 225/55/17s?

I'm asking because those are taller in diameter than the 225/45/18s or the 215/55/17s that a lot of people are using in the snow (which have the same diameter as stock tires).
