Don't race on Snow tires... :)

I was with my wife and her mom and a guy in his contour lined up at the light.....

He looked like in a hurry so I reved on him a bit...
The first light he jumped on me and I just pulled up as usual like a gramd ma...

We ligned up again at the second redlight, Turned off the VSA and at the green, I opened it up like 4000 rpms and all my shitty tires did is just spin crazy with no forward motion..

He he he.... I was screwing with the guy not racing... but knowing that Bizzaks are worthless in drag race is priceless

Don’t forget to mention that the tread on the BLIZZAK’s are also as soft as marshmallow’s and you probably just took 500-miles of their life away.

I’m loving this winter we are having so far in PA.
They’re calling for 62-degrees today.
I haven’t seen the need yet to bolt the snows on the car this winter.
They are still sitting up on the shelf in my garage.

Yep this winter is the warmest ever since they started keeping records.

My snow tires only saw action in couple snow storms...

Was I sorry to put them on, ... no better safe than sorry. I would not like to lose control on my Nittos and found criminally guilty in negligance(sp)...

Question: Is it legal to drive in the winter, where could be snow, on a 3-sesons tire like the nitto?

illegal, no. But it probably not the smartest thing.

Remember the blizzard of 1996? Thet declared an emergency and 4wd vehicles were the only ones allowed on the roads. Not AWD... 4wd. Those of you wut Imprezzas don't count. :P
Hence an SUV actually comming in handy... One week out of the year...
