Default Just went out for a drive in 1" of snow and my RE730's - Result: ABS!ABS!ABS!ABS!ABS!ABS!ABS!ABS!ABS

I'm home today and took my RE730's out for a spin locally to see how they are in snow (first they saw snow). Well, I didn't even get down my little dead-end street and ABS!ABS!ABS!ABS!ABS!ABS!ABS!ABS!ABS!ABS!ABS!ABS!AB S!ABS!ABS! Drove around some more and the reslult is Dunlop Winter Sport M2's are about to be put on. I will admit it's quite nice having a garage to do this in. Ok, gotta go mount 'em

I think I'll also throw in an old amp so I have some tunes...

Thanks Mark, you just made me feel a lot better about dropping $500 on good winter tires. :-)

Default PS. Gotta go down to "rice alley" after our first DC snowfall and watch the show

There is a certain shopping plaza near where I live that attracts, shall we say, a certain crowd. Lots of Integras, Civics, and the occassional M3 with 19" ultra-wide wheels, .25" inches of ground clearance, etc.

I've noticed that none of these guys have switched to snow tires (would ruin the look of their ride, I'm sure).

I really wanna see what happens when we get snow---with me and my car at a safe distance, of course. :-)

Dan
