Almost couldn't get up a short hill at a red light either.

Drive safe!

are you on snows,or all seasons,.or stock? ya had the "nannies" on?

The BRZ is in storage for the winter, the truck is the winter king for me. It needs new tires but Kaizen has ordered them for me. 265/70 R16 Firestone Destination AT's on the way!

but i gotta be honest,don't have confidence in the car with out dedicated snows

Well we only had a couple inches last night, and most didn't stick to the roads. There were a couple patches of slush and the car stuck to the road. This at least buys me time until I can get snows on, I like to wait until the last minute

You and me both. I was putting mine on as the snow was coming down where I live.

Just the stock tires... wasn't as prepared as I should have. I have very little confidence in them, however the drifts were very predictable and controllable! Talk about balance! I felt my back end slip and adjusted accordingly, nice and slow. I'll definitely be getting snow tires really soon.

Well it's good to know the stock tires were not a complete disaster.

It felt pretty solid as long as I was going under 30 at a constant speed and doing steady turns, surprisingly driveable. If I really needed to get somewhere, I don't think I would have a problem with the stock tires... knock on wood.

it's the "smart play" because the "softer compound' in the snows will wear at a faster rate on hard,bare,asphalt.

hoping the "all-seasons" will get me through if i get "caught" in the nasties!

keeping your speed down on the stocks is the right thing to do!.it's good to know they handle half decently at slower speeds

that's why I was driving my beater this week before I get my snow tires onto the BRZ this saturday... not gonna take that risk when I saw the forecast of snow/sleet and < 40 F.

I'd say get them sooner if I were you...

I was ill prepared myself. Revere wasn't too bad, but I did et caught in some slushy snow hills. No problem here with traction on. Few slips, but better than I expected. I do wish I had an LSD on my previous car! You can really feel the difference more than I anticipated. Very balanced indeed.
