Im just not a fan of their styling….not to mention they are labeled “granolas” and cars for ugly lesbians. So, bought my wife a cutesy Volvo suv instead. I was at a customer's recently and she had a sweet looking Volvo waggon. I had not seen one like it before but would 100% get it for the wife . My wife has always loved wagons . Pretty sure her dream car would be the Griswold family truckster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckf Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Winter tires are very common in northern VT & NH. When I lived south of the notches it wasn't very common. I have them here, but didn't when I lived in Ossipee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywho, If you live in the snow and ice belt a dedicated winter tire will undoubtedly outperform an all season by far. Test have proven it. Braking on icy roads is not even close with a studded or even the new studless designs. There are some A-T's with the 3PMSF symbol that work well but most have the old M+S symbol that is a farce. I had a set of Nokian WR3 or whatever they were called that were pretty good in the snow. But still didn't compare to dedicated snow tires. Where I grew up and lived most of my life in NH I never ran a winter tire. I can't think of many that I knew that did. The roads are different down there. The road crews have to expose everything from the center of the road to the white line before going home. Up here roads can be snow covered for weeks at a time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Educate yourself, open your eyes, stop being sheep! This year, I say no to winter tires! As matter of fact I'm having 4 new studded Nokias put on. And I didn't have an accident...LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer254 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 OMG, you can tell this was written for people like MC. Do you think he had studded tracks or no studs. Of course that was if he actually owned a snowmobile. The least he could have done was adapted it for a snowmobile site by using studded vs no studs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
