Snow, deep snow

Nothing like a little Wisconsin winter to slow down an RX-8. We got just over a foot of snow, which was enough to get me stuck for the first time in three winters.

So..... Are you running the RE040s?

What tires are you running to get through that much snow? I'm in the market for some all-seasons. I'm guessing you are running winter tires to even have a chance at that.

heh, based on the picture I don't think he was actually driving around.. there are no tire tracks around the car so it looks like it was left in the driveway before the storm..

And that is a lot of snow! I haven't seen a snowfall like that up here in many years! well at least around Toronto

I am running the Dunlop Wintersport M3s and they have served me very well through three winters. They handle snow and ice very well. They're like tank treads.

No, I was out driving. I just parked it at the bottom of my steep driveway so I could shovel before pulling in.

I did manage to beat the plows. It took me a good hour to shovel, then I tossed some sand down and went up the driveway a bit sideways.
