I enjoyed the morning with a calm & serene feeling of gliding ever so gently 180 degree's into the ditch

Then road rage kicked in cause of the guy who cut the inital car off :banghead:

At least there was no damage, and my good ole friend Mr. All Wheel Drive helped me easily out of the ditch :clap:

I'd give you guys a review of the Paradas when I get home, but I don't know if I'm going to make it.

Ditto here. I think the roads are just that shitty, I was slidding all over the place even going super slow, I could barely get moving at the lights. Does Toyo still make those tires with the crushed walnut shells?

I drove the Forester today and I was even scared, AWD helps but snow tires are king:bigpimp:

I almost died last year with cheap ass summer tires, I figured I could get through last winter without buying snow tires, I almost made it lol

I decided f**k it, and rode with my dad to work in the MDX :bigpimp: I'm definately thinking I should go to Costco and pick up some winters for the Accord.

I'm rolling on XGT4's, but I've heard they're shit..... Luckily the ice on the roads had already melted by the time I left work, and there was no snow yet when I went in to work this morning:thumbsup:

They're not so bad. I had them on my EL (I think)and that was my first winter with a 5-speed.
