There's nothing more fun than a RWD sports car with snow tires in the winter. The look on Jeep and other SUV drivers' faces when you pass them is hilarious.

Yeah no I'm not that brave. I have seen way too many driven head-first into guardrails to want to tempt fate.

m4a1mustang · 12-29-2012, 12:17 AM

The tires are what make all the difference. Winter tires make driving in snow just like any other day on the road.

dmhenderson · 12-29-2012, 12:21 AM

Oh I know that. Just not willing to shell out for another set of wheels/tires for 2 months of the year. I'd rather just not drive as the situation dictates.

m4a1mustang · 12-29-2012, 12:23 AM

Totally understand! If I ever get an NSX I won't take that out in the snow. But everything else I own is gonna be fair game!

The Aventador is AWD, so Blades will still be out there. And the salt won't scare him, as his "mirror finish" vinyl job will protect his paint!

I won't be there today, guys. I woke up feeling very sick.

Only around 650 for the tires. 70 for mount and balance.
