Goodyear Eagles, huh?

Huh.

I drive a del Sol and have always been a fan of the Firestone rain tires, precisely because that’s exactly what they use on the Indy cars. I may look into these Goodyears you speak of.

Great race, eh?

Oh, and yeah. At least 50% of drivers _are_ either morons, on the phone, or batshit insane. Especially in Florida when it rains.

Heh,

All this RO about OTHER bad drivers.

21 feet of snow so far this year. Weather looks like another 5-12 inches by this weekend. I’ll have to plow.

Frankly, I surprised there are not more accidents. Oh, I see bad drivers, mostly tourists. That’s OK. I wait for a safe spot and pass them.

IMHO. Nokian makes the best snow and ice tires. Provided the snow isn’t too deep. The Nokian’s are on my Wifes Jeep.

I get home first and often have to plow.

I run BFG AT’s on my daily driver. They are better in deep snow. They can actually dig a bit (not the BFG rugged trails that came with the vehicle [whom ever designed that tire/tread should be publicly ridiculed).

I should probably start a thread about deep snow and ice driving.
