| Re: Icy roads I used to like the feeling of sliding around in a car, but since I've gone to RWD I can't stand it. M

| Re: Icy roads I'm inclined to think that proper winter tires would be of great help... I've never experienced anything like that here.

| Re: Icy roads But racing cars use "racing slicks" so I thought if I just wear mine down to nothing I would get more tracking.  I only had a few miner slides in the A4 with snow tires. Most of the time I had plenty of traction. Do you know how hard it is to do donuts in a car with snow tires and 4 wheel drive...  |
