Ok should I wink at the camera for you or something too? All I am saying is it is possible, not that everyone should go out and do it. I am also saying that if there is ice on the road your snow tires aren't going to help you a whole lot more than any other tire.

I found this picture somewhere in the web without any comments. I do know nothing about the circumstances. Sorry, I should have mentioned this in the original image post.

I woke up this morning to a snow covered car. Luckily I had put on my winter wheels/tires yesterday.

Good thing he chrashed in a guard rail and not into someone else.
People who drive with summer tires in conditions like that deserve a lesson. Hope the person learns from it and buy good winter tires. Where I come from, you would easily have lost your licence if driving with summer tires in those conditions. |

The main reason I'm waiting until spring to take delivery of mine. I know how the GTO handles in the snow, and I already have a set of snow tires mounted on it.

The main reasson why I would buy the GT86 is because a proper RWD is so much more fun to drive in wet conditions. Snow conditions are the best way to enjoy a RWD car!

Apparently those were journalists, doing testing
If it made it into the article, saying 'don't do this', then it's all good. Doesn't look like they had any kind of speed too. |
