First snow of winter in CO

Re: First snow of winter in CO

This is the third in golden. I'm anxious for some accumulation so I can test my snow tires out :)

Brand new studded Nokian Hakka 7s... 215/60-16.

With the VTD tranny and torque biasing diffs at both ends the traction is unbelievable :cool:.

I've never had snow tires on my car.
I have some kind of summer tires or mild season tires on mine, so I was able to swing out the back end easily around a parking lot. :D

Turns out when it snowed, at some point it melted so all the snow in town had a layer of ice underneath it. I found this out when I hit a curb while driving my friends to a restaurant because I started sliding and kept sliding even while countersteering correctly. :(
