Default Re: Snow tires installed

My '05 coupe has the all-season tires. I'm running it through a Michigan winter. There was about a quarter inch of ice on the road on my way into work this morning. It's only a 12 mile drive, but I had to take it at 25 miles an hour. I've got 70 pounds of rock salt in the back, but that doesn't eliminate the slippage. The back end still fishtails before the traction control kicks in and tries to correct it.

Bottom line, you can make it through the winter providing you're an extremely careful driver.
