Snow in ny...
 

Operation Parking lot drift is a go.

Why do you need snow to drift? You have an fr-s...

Saves the tires.

If an old white guy who clothes himself entirely in denim can do it so can you.

It's easier.... I can do it at a slower speed... And I won't need to buy new tires...

Because sliding around in the snow is a sheetload of fun. It's a totally different drifting experience than drifting in the dry. Don't get me wrong, drifting on dry pavement is fun too... but it is just so much easier to break traction and slide around when there is snow on the ground. Seriously, you should try it. :party0030:

...just turn off traction and you might as well be on ice in this car

my car becomes useless in snow with all the hills around me

Ehh. Tires..

how are you even getting your car to a empty parking lot?

theres almost a foot of snow on the ground??

there are plows running constantly so the roads are driveable. and most of the major parking lots have already been plowed once already so the accumulation on them is enough to have fun and not get stuck in.

I can honestly say today was the worst driving experience ever... I have snow tires in the back and couldnt go above 20 mph. 8 hours to get from farmingdale to queens...

Lol I went before work at like 12:30. Struggled to get to work and ultimately left my car in the parkinglot at work because driving it home isn't an option

ya good call. I thought I would've beat the traffic, but boy was I wrong. On a side note, I saw like 3 genesis coupes, a couple g35's and g37s, and rwd bmw's stuck in the LIE. Best of luck to those guys, but my brz was a champ compared to those guys.

I'm buried. My car is definitely not getting out of my street lol

The side roads here in Lexington are just sheets of ice. I just sold my tC last weekend and now the FRS is my DD. I was quite impressed with the way the car performed on the suck ass tires. Yet my tC made life a little less stressful but was not that much better. And nannies off is the only way to go if you trust your driving skills. Feels like I have more control for sure. Be safe out there!

So the stock summer tires suck........
all seasons r ok....
are there any tires that r for straight up snow or dirt/mud?
whats your setup?
whos got the most grip in the snow?

Blizzaks FTW

You probably want all around winter tires rather than ones for pure snow. Most of the winter season we don't have snow on the ground so you want something that does well in all conditions (dry/wet).

+1 for Blizzaks.
I'm runnin Blizzak LM-60's and they plow through snow and have great dry/wet traction.
Blizzaks + skill > SUV's

meh i was cruising at 50 on the hutchinson river parkway, belt parkway, and cross island parkway last night between 830 and 1030.

Lol i struggled to get to work. Then got in my work car (ford Taurus) and had no problems lol. Most entertaining moment of the day was watching this BMW spen wheels in a parkinglot. Poor chap kept flooring it digging himself deeper and deeper lol

i saw a merc, beamer, and golf spinning their wheels going less than 5mph on the cross island last night. The best thing I saw was a bmw z3 getting towed with a rope by an avalanche

My favorite part was passing a cop that was doing maybe 30 and I was doing 50, :)

on stock setup?

blizzaks are winter tires... I think you're trying to compare studded vs stud-less tires?

i was driving in the snow last night around 10:30PM with a kid in the back seat and my girl in the passenger. My interior is completely destroyed by snow and salt water right now. anyone got tips on that. theres patches of ice all over the cracks just sitting there. also on the carpets.

Vacuum should get all the salt out. I vacuumed and scrubbed my carpets earlier this year for the same reason. Within 2 days of owning the car had my weathertech mats ordered.

Collects a majority of the crap and very easy to remove and clean. Lots of salt collected on the mats. Much better than the regular mats

I got the oem all weather rubber mats and they seem ok for the front but the rear mats are a joke. Don't cover the whole area just the middle. Wish I had gone for the weathertech. If you can take a quick pic of the rear mats in their position would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
