Yeah I'm crazy...need snow tires

"In general, I think a wider stance with a higher center of gravity is going to help reduce sliding, especially with meaty tires."

FINALLY ... the 'offset from hell' is justified

When I said wider, I meant a little wider, lol. But yea, I can't imagine you sliding or tipping much.

Since my track is different than everyone else's, driving in the snow is INTERESTING trying to stay in one track or the other.

But yer right, I don't tip.

If for no other reason than to give us a Nelson Munz "Ha Ha" moment!

DANG ... it's getting deep in here

[pbkid]

man, you guys are spoiled...

drive a honda for 5 or 6 years... then get a VX and you will think its the best thing on the planet.

i drive back and forth, up and down the colorado mountains multiple times a week and the only thing that even resembles keeping up with me is a subaru.

ive definately had mulitple occasions where i was passing stuck chevy 3500 diesels, yukons, audi's, you name it.... like i said, except for the subaru

but, that has A LOT to do with the driver... my entire driving life i've been driving in heavy snow, so i dont get heavy on the skinny pedal, just slow and steady... you people who only get snow every once in a while tend to freeze up on the ice..

Hey, Bart!
Both of my "testing the limits" slides were on hills, one, a sharp turn left that resulted in a 180 spin. And, believe it or not, I managed to get the Dragon to break loose and spin 360 going UPHILL on a slight curve that was icy. I WAS doing 50+, so no big surprise there...
Remember kids, these were calculated, controlled experiments on closed roads, so don't try this at home!
Yea, right
Best,

Yeah, we have a HUGE parking lot here at work. Several times in the winter I purposefully throttled the VX into a spin. With the AWD however, donuts are not as easy as you would think. Normally I can get the VX to slide sideways through the snow. But getting that full whip-around is tough.

Anyway, those few moments where I slid in the VX were the closest I have ever come to wrecking her. The worst was on a semi-steep grade, going down, and some schmuck pulled a turn in front of me. I was only going maybe 20-25 but the VX broke right out as soon as I touched the brake. I had to steer and slide her into the curb to keep from slamming into the dickbag who pulled out in front of me. That SUCKED. I swear, some people HAVE NO CLUE how to drive safely in the snow.

Thankfully now though, my VX will be hibernating for most of the winter while I tear up the unplowed Reno roads in my Trooper.

These tires seem to do okay in a lil bit of snow!
