yeah , im waiting to get lower profile (and stronger sidewall) tires till i do some wet/dry powerbraking... these huge 215/70's have too much side flex , and arent holding pressure too good , so i dont think im going to chance a fold over... i dont have a spare....so....nah...

but i cant wait to find some 185/60r17's that come in 5x100 ... and some nice 17/7 wheels.. mmmmmmm rubber.....



be safe , be slippery...

Don't have much trouble with a lack of rain and snow here in Southern Ontario. Problem here is deciding when is enough, usually occurs after a really close call, as in black ice causing a slide to within inches of a light post.

 

thats why i stopped doing it in the snow...went around a bend real nice once , real even , real smooooth... come down to the bottom of the bend in the hill and it grabbed a spot of salt and whipped me around twice...ended up in some poor sob's front yard just inches from a walnut tree... when i say inches , i mean my back fender was so close i couldnt squeeze a hand between the gap (which made it fun to unstick said wheel... )

close calls means it time to stop i do the same thing with the atv

 

Yea, I'm one of the few people who love it when the roads are snowy. I especially like left turns at lights, the looks from the people that are stopped at the light waiting to go straight is great when my truck is pointed straight at them but going sideways to my own side of the road. The small cars are the best because they are looking up to the brush guard. I don't see why people don't like the snow, it is so much fun, and as long as you don't do something stupid like slam on your brakes you'll be fine. The beauty of my truck is that with the heavy cummins in there and the light rear end there is such a weight bias that the front sticks and I can put the rear where ever I want it with the throttle. Gravel is fun as well. Dry pavement is just to hard on the tires.

 

I used to slam the e-brake on our back parking lot at school when it rained or snowed. It is blacktopped and is slicker than snot when wet. A couple of the RWD folks that park there whip donuts. Check the pic.

 

350Z + 6sp = drifting fun, I don't need rain or snow. It does help save the tires, though. Now in my Audi A4, the only drifting you're doing in that thing is on snow or ice. BTW, all-wheel-drive donuts are f#ckin awesome. I highly recommend trying it sometime.

 

I've never driven an all wheel drive car, but they pull off tight f*cking donuts.....love watching them

 

If it's anything like 4wd donuts in the snow then I can agree with you there.

 

Haha, we actually just got like 6" of snow yesterday........ time to park the Z and get the A4 out, oh yeah.
