Took me 50 minutes from Richmond home to Vancouver. BUT, took 25 minutes to get through the mess of Steveston Hwy, and only 25 min the rest of the way. Richmond got hit way harder than Vancouver this time around.

it was a skinny asian kid with skinny jeans and smoking a cig talking to the cop that showed up behind the RR with lights on to warn traffic. in front of the RR was what looked like an identical RR parked with hazards and a girl in the drivers seat, i assume knew the guy.

The whole idea of "well it only snows 2 times a year" is complete bullshit, because all it takes is for one car to cause a major accident in this kind of weather.
The worst part was she had her daughter in the car with her at the time =/

It's either

A) they just just don't know anything about tires;

B) they try to save money on things they should buy.

For me, $1200 tires is better than possibly crashing my car, totalling it and injuring myself and others.

And winter tires help out even when there is no snow. The compound is softer and grids better in cold weather.

And lastly, most no-season tires are shit in summer as well if you do spirited driving. Better to just have 2 dedicated sets for my 8.
If they feel that they're better off saving $1200 then either buy a cheaper car or don't buy a car at all.

Saw a Maserati Granturismo on 41st and Earles on the side of the road with the side airbags deployed lmao

Also someone behind me stopped less than a metre from my bumper, sideways.

All these people are the ones who think 4matic is a must here as well as amg. Get the top package, don't need snow tires cause 4matic.

I know a few. They also like to think that a S600 amg (or whatever the s class amg is) is a sports car.

Luckily a gentleman pushed me out, thank you, god bless you for the good help.

I only put like 2000km tops a season and I've had the tires for 5 years now, total < 10,000km, but I find that grip is not as great as it once was. The tread life is like 9/11, so plenty remaining. Not sure if my tires are shit now due to age or it's just the weather is too crazy? General Altimax winter setup.
Gonna be a mixture of age and tires that aren't particularly great for snow. Depending on the model, some of their tires are designed more for light/compacted snow and ice, and others are set up more for deep snow.

My Nokian Hakk R2's are great on compacted snow and ice but not particularly good in deep snow, just as a reference.

NICE!!! there is a God!:fullofwin:

edit: i wonder if i can buy his parts... ill take all his carbon pieces. That retard had quite a few carbon fiber extras (side skirts, rear deck spoiler, front diffuser, rear diffuser and interior trim). That carbon fiber package for the GT was 25k extra. I think it saved 40lbs in total. YES a WHOOPING 40lbs.

Wow, that's the LP580 which is the RWD Huracan. I had the same car and traction was bad on slightly wet roads so imagine snow/ice. That been said with proper snow tires I guess you could drive it in snow because DDE has the same car and he's been able to drive in snow.

Lowered RWD with winter tires = :fuckyea:

Went to Cypress after work to get some laps in, was a blast on the way there :fullofwin:

how do you tell apart RWD vs AWD Huracan and why is the doorjam not black like the rest of the car...MM wrap?

bigzz786786 02-23-2018 11:06 PM
^with the wrap there's no way to tell if its awd or rwd, if it wasn't wrapped there would be a small badge best the driver rear wheel which will say 580-2 for rwd and i think it would say 610-4 for awd, the amount of torque that thing uses makes it hard as hell to control, and i believe they come with UHP summer tires so its a lose lose. even if hey were snow tires, it would still be super hard to control that kind of car on a hill like that.

Incorrect. The 580 doesn't have badges, only the 610 does. Easiest way to tell them apart is the rear, the 580 has a larger plastic grille compared to the 610s thinner grille and lower part of the bumpers are different. Also the front bumper is different, the 580 has more of LP560 look. And finally the 580 comes with steel brakes, 610 has carbon brakes.
