Default Re: Concerned about Continental Tires

Today was the first significant snowfall of the season. Let me first get this out of the way....WOAH. The so called "all season" tires should have come with a little disclaimer: "this tire made for all seasons apart from winter." We had about 2 inches of snow and slush on the ground and even going 25mph at constant speed on a straight road the little traction control light was constantly flashing. Power was constantly being cut and I could feel the car trying to right itself. It was definitely weird.

I did have an empty take of gas, however, and no salt in the back. I still remain somewhat confident that added weight over the rear wheels will help quite a bit.
