OFFICIAL: 2023 Weather and Road Conditions MEGA THREAD

[Xamim]

A good set of winters will make all the difference (WS90, Hakkas, X-ice). I don't care how good people think their all-seasons are, they a shit compared to the proper winter tires. Sure, you can adjust your driving style, but the only adjustment I had to make last night was to account for all the people on all-seasons, sliding around and taking forever to do basic maneuvering. Imagine a world where the roads a littered with 80 year old drivers and they take ages to accelerate from a light, start slowing down for a corner that's 200m ahead and take ramps at 20 km/hr. I bet you would feel frustrated driving behind them. That's what it feels like.

Long way? Why is it hard to believe some people can actually drive for the conditions and never get stuck? I have in fact never gotten stuck in any winter conditions I've ever driven in ever.

I get it.. you have your band of winter tire Merry Man around preaching "mandatory winter tires" around here but that doesn't mean you and your band are the greatest thing on the face of the earth when it comes to driving.

In fact in your video stating "deserve to get stuck" is in itself just an asinine comment from a person who thinks they are better than everyone else. Nobody deserves to get stuck when the weather is shitty and cold.

Sorry, I apologize. What I meant to say was that's a long way to say "I never get stuck, at least when I do I don't tell anyone about it"

Every year we have the all season apologists in this thread. "we're fine". yea, you're in my way. And one day you'll get stuck. "I never get stuck". whatever.

Then we see all these cars stuck and left behind. We make a comment, must be on all seasons, and the apologists come out with their "oh yea right you can just tell looking at them that they're all seasons".

Well, fuck you, I can. This is how I spend my free time.





edit - learnt a few things

1. They put M+S and snowflake on everything. Those Goodyear wrangler duratrac have both M+S and snowflake, but everyone bitches about lack of traction once temps dip below freezing. To be fair it's probably good enough for BC winters.
2. They make P-Zero All Season and Winters.
3. People spend fuck all on tires. So much junk out there.

Not all heroes wear capes. I salute your efforts.

Why are you using your cellphone while driving?

[rage2]

To be fair I’m secretly still on team all season. Minivan didn’t get changed yet. You know what I did with it?



Nothing. Stay off the roads.

I love this!

Winter tires should be mandatory in Alberta from October 1 of every year to end of March of the following year.

Don’t have them, immediate fine and impound.

Should get the military to enforce this too. Approve airstrikes on the QE2.

[suntan]

Just have the police pull over people that are impeding traffic.

[Tik-Tok]

Bunch of communists lefties in this thread, wanting everyone to be equals on the road.

[vengie]

Insurance companies just need stop covering any vehicle damage caused by lack of proper tires.

You have ~147. square in. of contact with the road, why people don't do what they can to have the best contact patch in all conditions boggles my mind.
They then hurtle down the highway at 120km/h + without a care in the world.

Invest in your contact patch people.
