Questions after my near death experience

^^^^^^what he said^^^^^
Tires going forward at a certain speed then suddenly reversing that direction stalled everything. It would do it to a non-ECM controlled car as well. If you hit nothing and the car didn't bounce all over the place, an alignment isn't necessary. Wouldn't hurt to get under the car and do a once-over to make sure nothing got caught up on anything. All weather tires are your best option in a place like where you live.

I doubt you even need an alignment because of the slide, but you might just as well get one to go with the new tires anyway.
I think the Pilot SS's are a great choice. If not hem then I was going to suggest the Pilot all-seasons (even if you have to bump the sizes a little bit).
Glad you weren't hurt; you're definitely one lucky SOB

glad that you and your G are fine OP...but i suggest you go with all season tires as well being that you live in chicago...im in new york and we have similar climates and I've always had all seasons on...till this day never had a problem (knock on wood)
also a quick check up of everything else wont hurt

The problem with summer tires in a 4 season climate like up north is that the compound can harden in the temperature changes, thus affecting grip. All season compounds have the ability to adapt to the temperature changes and allow for optimal grip in all of those conditions. Go all season. I'm certain there's a great compound out there that'll do the trick for ya.

as far as services... If your car is running good and you don't notice anything while driving it you should be ok... something like this happened to me a while back but I hit a curb luckily nothing happened except a realignment that was needed. I do all alignments with NTB and they offer the 6 month warranty on their alignments.
