    Those will teach you car control on the dragon. Best thing is you can slide Foggie around at 25MPH on those warm & squishy snow shoes. :wink:

    Now that I have winter tires, perhaps I'll get a set of summer tires too and get away from the all season things. :Thumbsup:

    Been recovering from a very sore back, so I got the tires on the driver's side and decided to wait till tomorrow for the other two. Now I'm thinking I could do some really cool donuts in the driveway. Hummmmmmm... :lol::lol:

    First run on the new tires. They are very quiet, smooth and handle well. I might just leave them on all year. :Thumbsup:

    Maybe I'll put on a set of chains Dave. Then we would have sparks. :D

    I still remember driving down the road, a link in one of the chains would break and whop, whop, whop, all the way home. Of course the cars were not plastic back then. :lol:

    I don't think anyone here has said NOT to use winter tires. That would be just plain dumb.

    :p
