Is anyone even close???

Been having the same experiences...though it gets frustrating at times.

Having the hot-rod that can out accelerate pretty much everything in the snow, means that you eventually catch up with the group of garden slugs in front of you, where you're trapped, with only their complete driving incompetence as entertainment...

That's only because my WRX isn't in the lane next to you.

Ya, we had sleet last night during rush hour and my commute went from already miserable to down right suicidal. There was a slushy mess all over the roads and the temp was holding at 34-37, but no ice. Slick, but not bad at all IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING (which we can all agree that MD drivers are THE worse, with the exception of maybe 1 guy who has a VX and a WRX, hahaha). Having finally gotten a chance to try out the new winter shoes I got on the WRX (Goodyear Eagle F1's) I wanted to give them the test. GREAT tire after all is said and done.

Anyways, that's fairly VX OT there, but I will say that the VX is a champ in all weather, IMHO. It does what it has to do, as long as you know it's limits (I found most of them the hard way). I find myself with more courage to "play" in the WRX since it's, IMO, the same vehicle just with a MUCH lower stance/center of gravity, heh. Lowered though, so with more than 4" of snow and it's parked, heh. I do miss the VX though. Been in the garage for 3 weeks now with battery disconnected, awaiting repair days.

Yeah, but it is fun once that little hole opens up between the Saturn and the Prius and then you just blast through. I'm loving the M/Ts. I was even thinking of airing down a little and see how much better the tracktion gets...

I hear both sides about MT's, but the side that actually uses their tires in the snowy mountains say that MT's are the BEST in snow.

Yeah, I don't get. My boy at Big-O Tires told me the A/Ts were better in the snow. Personally, I don't see how that is possible. When I had the A/Ts, they would just pack up. With the bigger, farther apart lugs on the M/Ts, my tires stay pretty clear. I would imagine it would be even better aired down a little.

Yeah I actually look forward to driving in the snow. I get the funniest looks from people when I’m stopped at a light and I accelerate away like there was no snow at all.

Everyone talking about the slush and snow, don't forget to give them ABS systems some good cycles. Might prevent problems with them down the road to the tune of , what did I hear, $3,000.00. But that is just my opinion.

I'm in agreement with you...mine gets enough "exercise" every winter, to stay limber the whole year through!...
