Why they invented snow tires.

Lived in Virginia for 5 years and have never had more than a few inches of snow and it never stuck for more than a few hours. Got 8-10 inches on Monday and needless to say the ol PS2s just couldn't hold up. Almost broke my damn back digging her out! Enjoy my pain.

That sucks. I managed to drive in the snow with some Toyo T1R tires on, but it wasn't pretty. (or safe lol)

Sorry to see the horrible pics but glad you guys are OK. I drove in Boston for 3 years with the G. Three words: Bridgestone Blizzaks LM-22. Never had any problem even in the worst blizzards possible.

But like Super20G, glad to be in FL nowadays. ;-)

Damn! You sure had more trouble with me. All I had to do was get out onto the road but lost traction and slid into the ditch. My neighbors enjoyed watching me digging out for 3 hours but strangely no-one offered to help? B@stards!
