But yeah, watching cars going 120 km'h and setting up for a turn on ice and watching them actually turning on ice is amazing. http://carsonice.ca/

Have had Michelin X-Ice on my '84 Accord for just over two years now. Really happy with them. I use them year round and rotate them on a regular basis. Cannot get them to wear down. Have at least three quarters of the tread left (nice even wear on all of them). They're good in all conditions. It's a light car and most of my driving is on the freeway, so that's probably why the tires have done so well. Best investment ever.

Anyone used Firestone WinterForce...??
Got 4/5 reviews on snow, cold season, light ice...but overall the name Firestone scares the hell outta me...  :
Anyone remember those accidents in US highways about SUVs w/ Firestone tires blowing up?? Still got the pics and link saved...

Hankook I*pike RC01 from CDN Tire. They are incredible for the price i paid. I was testing them out on the black ice by slamming on the brakes on the sidestreets. Did not fishtale or slip or slide. Also no trouble going up snowy hills. I was passing everyone at the UBC Highway where everyone was going 40KM/hr, even this damn RangeRover 4x4 swerving all over the place... well i wasn't going that fast, just 60km/hr. I accelerated normally at red lights, no slipping.

For the price, they were definitely worth it. I was having trouble intentionally breaking them loose today.

20Litres eh? where u park?
lol
jokes aside it is a great thing to go to a mall or something to try the car and its handling because it can help and save you. sometimes the brakes don't help as much as the throttle

The truck is shorter than a Miata, runs a 2.25L four cylinder, and has provisions to carry 180 litres of gasoline, which I'm increasing to 220.

Anyone have experience with Yokohama Ice Guards? I just reserved a set of them cause they're basically the only ones I could find locally in my tire size.

today i just mounted my Michelin X-Ice Xi2 and i am completely amazed. compared to my old bridgestone ws-50 its like night and day. i can accelerate way harder and brake much faster. so far ive had no wheel lock in the ice or snow and my bridgstones would slip at the smallest trace of ice.
