I don't know what I hate more - the people that do 20 KM/H on CLEAR roads, just because there's a little blowing snow (hardly enough to occlude visibility even a bit) or the idiots doing 100+ in an 80 zone because they have... wait for it... snow tires! Go ahead, hit the brakes and come down quick - I double dog dare ya!
Snow tires give you some more traction due to the siping in the tread blocks and the softer, more pliable compound. What they do NOT let you do is defy physics. If that was what I saw locally, I can only imagine what they do down south. :rolleyes:
For the record, the Terra Tracs are performing admirably, even in sub -20C conditions. :) Maybe next winter I'll try a set of their dedicated winter truck tires, even ;)
