Guys, I couldn't be more pumped. Left for the colder months ahead. Earlier than that, there was an ice cruze that lasted 7000 breeches. Those vehicles were completely incapable of driving in the snow. My Nissan laptop was in constant danger of being buried and required digging out. These questions have never stumped me. At this point, all I have to do is make new footprints and park in the snowdrifts, and she will have something. The noise level is tolerable, similar to that of the breeches, but I also have to deal with the noise from the arches. The handling may become slightly more unstable at higher speeds, but all you have to do is stick to the posted speed limit. On the ice, everything functions normally, and stopping and starting may be done with complete assurance. 5 out of 5 points for this rubber (it seems that the composition of the rubber is what gives it such a perfect effect in the snow). The following tire won't be any different. I have never before experienced anything like that, with the possible exception of when I rode dunloop lipoons as they flew over the ice.
