Seriously. This car with Altimaxes in the snow = BIG Grins!

But agree with mmsracing, gotta show more respect to the road in this compared to my previous FWD car, or the FWD minivan, not that that's a bad thing

more snow tomorrow

also another +1 for the General Altimax Arctics. haven't had a single issue with them this winter and they're great to have fun with when you want to as well.
