It's not really THAT bad with summer tires. You do have to accept that you're not going to be going over 15 mph and you have to be comfortable with the car oversteering with any throttle input at all. Then again I'm stupid enough to ride a bike in the snow.

The worst part of it was trying to avoid all the stupidity out on the road! Trying to make sure you don't hit anybody and that nobody hits you since it seems like most people in Texas want to act like they drive in the snow everyday! People were riding my bumper the whole way! Ifyou try to go 15 people are running you over because they THINK they can drive on the snow. That and the car not wanting to take off from a stop no matter how gentle I was on the throttle. It would have been fun with no one else around!lol

If you do the blinkers, you are going to want to buy the $15 relay to adjust the timing for led bulbs (fixes the hyper blinking when you put the turn signals on).

They are awesome. Got mine from Diodedynamics, stage 2. Super bright from stock and look great in the housing too.



just make sure you have a flasher relay with resistors to eliminate hyper blinking after the install if you decide to get some.
