Only if you live in terrible places
Winters
If you live in a place that has made studs illegal, its easy to assume 2 things right away.
1) Its a shitty place to live
2) The roads are absolute shit year round.
i had bald chink tires on my frontier and had no problem getting around.
heh never thought of it that way. maybe that's why I have never had a problem with immigrants. If they want to be here that bad they gotta be alright.
honestly it is pretty rad when you open your front door and a wave of ice fog hits your face and that initial sting of cold triggers Led Zeppelin to run through your head and this becomes your soundtrack for the day, week, month:
Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2, are awesome, light, quiet, capable on ice, awesome in snow. But don't take them where wheel spin on stones is possible, they are too soft for that, thread gets damaged.
I'm glad it's finally done. We had a really bad winter around here, but my winter tires did the job well. I ran Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's, and they did a good job with all the rain we had here in Monterey. I'm actually keeping them on for a bit, we might still get some rain in the next month but then it's done until November. Had to deal with some real chilly temperatures too, got down near freezing overnight a few times. All in all pretty rough, the worst winter we've had in a long time.
