Freezing Rain Experience and Summer tires

YamahaR6 · 11-23-2011, 10:57 AM

With "extreme" care and 90km/h HWY driving (max is 100km/h); it's doable, but wouldn't do it again.

I am glad you are fine, and glad I do not live anywhere near those conditions.

yah, that's some slick stuff... especially black ice. even with snow tires the car struggles.

Nah, you just need a crappy one that you don't mind slamming into things.
