Shoe Update

So, just a few days after putting on the new tires Ann Arbor got a 7" snow fall.


Yes, that is a Mazda 3 under there somewhere. City was on top of the street plowing this time, at least in our neighborhood, and I was easily able to get out and around. Car now handles reasonably well in 3-4 inches of snow and slush, with very little wheel-spin. Tires are somewhat noisy on the freeway, but I'm willing to trade that for the improved traction.

My wife and I put badly needed new tires on both our cars at the start of winter and had the same heightened sensitivity about them.

I think the super-cold we've had makes tires (and everything else I suppose) behave differently.

Not that I'm all crazy interested in tires or anything...

Saw this in your Ning.com profile. Just leaving some tracks. See you tomorrow.
