Calgary Roads are horrendous.

[pf0sh0]

So..

Tonight after the flames game ( flames won!).. I was driving home on macleod trail S. ... going super fucking slow, because it was really slushy and I drive a RWD car.. (AWD kicks in at some points.. this time not..) Just before entering the Anderson Rd. exit... I start feelign I'm losing control... and fish tail like a mofo into other lanes... It was the worst shit ever...

Hence we need more sand on the roads as fast as possible, and our weather licks ball sack.

What does that have anything to do with Calgary's roads? Slipping and sliding can happen on any road, in any city, right after any snowfall before the roads get sanded/rocked. If anything, I think you were just driving too fast for the road conditions.

Incorrect.

what kind of tires are you running
that may be a factor...

[pf0sh0]

Edit: Snow/Slush on Calgary roads eat balls.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't going fast.. most likely the layer of slush beneath my car.

[pf0sh0]

Yes, tires are probably a factor

What are some good tires? .. might as well ask since you mentioned.

michelin x-ice

[pf0sh0]

how much do thos run you?

It's either I get winter tires or.. a peice of shit for winter.. probably do better with a peice of shit.. since they are salting roads

haha im pretty sure it was you... and if you start to fish tail in arwd car and cant keep it in your lane, please just take a cab when it is shitty out, and dont endanger me or my car

[pf0sh0]

haha.. yeah I want a beater. I only want to spend about $1000 or less.. cause fuck its useless to me besides winter.

I think it was my tires, didn't expect it to snow during the game. It is not AWD 24/7.. only when i lose rear traction... and I did.. but that shit didn't kick in.

Toyo Proxies 4's tonight. Made it home fine. Was caught by surprise before I left from work. I took it nice and slow and made it home.

Everyone please be careful out there. It's shity tonight, and tomorrow it'll all probably be completely dry again.

no good tires just mean you can go a little fast and you can get off the line without spinning your wheels a bit, i have driven with all different tires and it only changes what you can get away with

[pf0sh0]

good tires would have definitely helped..

yeah they will help you hit things even harder if you you cant drive, since you will just be going faster when you lose control

[pf0sh0]

yes, I know that...

I avoided an accident.. not caused one.

[88CRXGUY]

Well tomorrow they aren't going to be any better than what they were this evening. I'm going to leaving an hour before I start work just to make sure I can take my time. Yeah good tires and not speeding are some good things to do if you don't want to get into an accident lol.
