Considering that we got over 2 feet of snow here in Maryland, my Kumho 712's did pretty darn well for being summer tires. But I agree that winter tires would be much better.
 
snow

its not about "not being tough" its about the crazy people that dont know how to even drive in rain... in an inch of snow theres people slidding all over the roads.. even if WE know how to drive on the snow.. 90% of the people on the roads dont.. you cant really move out of the way fast enough when its icy.
 
hey guys...i will try and post a video on here or something so you can see the stupid stuff one of our friends did on our icy and slick roads. hope to post them soon for ya and leave us texans alone...we dont get snow or anything like that down here at all hardly except maybe once a year and thats when we get to stay home
 
acid...i dont have any problems in the rain tho...the only complaint i have w/our stock tires or even the kumho ecstas are that they hum too loud going down the road..they hum as loud as one of our friends z71 w/35" tires on it...its almost as loud as them and well...i usually dont hear anything cause i always have my radio up tho...but have no problem w/wet surfaces..sorry that you havent had the same success.
 
We get pretty regular snow in Toronto (not nearly the accumulation my friends in Montreal get) and we still get retards that can't drive when it snows. There are more tards after the first snowfall of the year and it gets progressivly better the more snow we get. You can never get rid off all the idiots though. It might be possible to thin some out if we banned SUV's though!

Are you guys in Texas getting out in the snow late at night just to have some fun? Keep away from the tards, but don't let them spoil your fun!
 
heck yeah we are...we never see it so we have been going to a mall parking lot like 1/4 mile up the road and letting our cars open up there...and pulling ppl on boogie boards behind a vehicle...thats the video im going ot try and get up for ya guys to watch..its pretty funny
 
s***...we got more snow and sleet today...and i was VERY close to smacking a dumpster...i had ZERO control...the brakes locked or i just slid or some s***, but i mean it was close!
