Nokians are unbelievable, seriously, words cannot describe just how well they've been performing for me. I was close behind a Fit on the weekend in Abby with a few inches of fresh snow on the road, the Fit slipped and got stuck on a very steep hill, I just reversed and then shot right up the hill like it was dry pavement passing the Fit. I used to have Pirelli Asimettricos and they were pretty good, but not great in really tough conditions.


I parked at the top of the hill then pushed the Fit up btw, I'm not going to leave someone stranded.

[rJZx]

I can vouch for nokians, use to have michelin snow tires and when i had them i thought they were good... switched over to nokians from all the raving reviews and not one problem with it. ive been turning right on main streets going 30 with no traction issues.

I don't think they make snow tires for buses. it's called chains. Go drive a duellly pick up truck with just rear wheel drive and see if it does any better. There's too much surface area so it's not grabbing the pavement.
Even if there is winter tires for buses. i bet you it's not going to help. think of towing a trailer and having the trailer part push your car or truck. Do you think it will go anywhere?? same concept just bigger scale.

[Oleophobic]

Finally put my snow tires into good use! So many unprepaired drivers driving 20km on two lanes, atleast move to the right/slow lane!

On a lot of big streets, the left lane is the lane with the least amount of snow due to it being driven in the most. Even the snow plows can't leave both lanes sparkling clean, and when NO plow has gone through the street yet the left lane is the most traveled lane so there are tire tracks you can follow and more of the snow has melted.

Often times there's so much snow still on the right half of the right lane you have no choice but to drive in between the two lanes. There is no right/left lane in this case, but just one lane.
Wtf would you want to drive in the right lane with all the snow?

Of all times to be a patient and forgiving driver, this is it you douchebag.

You don't even have to go that expensive to get "underbody spoilers." My bro's TSX's undercarriage is all covered to reduce drag and my 8 year old Accord has a lot of it covered too. My car is lowered and I have no problems in the snow. :thumbsup:

Too soon, junior.

Wait until at least end of February or early March.

Ideally when the temperature is regularly above 7°C.

Same here. There's a drain next door but it's uphill so I had to shovel a trough along the curb 4 houses down to the next drain. Better than having all that shit pool where I park.

Winter tires have less to do with snow than temperature, which is why the term snow tires is a misnomer.



Anyone else finding their modified suspensions are a huge help in heavy snow?

[Gt-R R34]

for all those that hate the snows - this Vancouver Sun story rings so true

Here we go again, another snowfall warning, another Lotus Land anxiety attack.

Transit might be disrupted! We could get up to 10 centimetres of snow! Brr! It’s so cold that even Chicken Little might freeze solid and drop from the sky like a lump of ice jettisoned by some passing airliner, bound, no doubt, for the tropics.

Oh, for heaven’s sake, it’s 2011, not 2012 and the end of the Mayan long count. Can we please get a grip? It’s January, for Pete’s sake. It’s the middle of winter. It snows here almost every year. And it’s not even that cold.

Consider 1968 when the thermometer plunged to -18, or those in Fort Nelson, where the average temperature for January is -21 degrees and on average they get only one month without snow, or Revelstoke where the average winter snowfall is 425 centimetres – enough to fill your living room to the ceiling and then some.

Yes, yes, I know that cold is hard on the homeless. But it’s not them I hear whining about the weather, it’s those who must struggle from luxury four-by-fours with heated leather seats to their $4 designer coffee. And those carping loudest, I note, are often those who haven’t bothered with winter tires.

From all this weather-related complaining, you’d think a bit of snow was the harbinger of the apocalypse. Look, this is not rocket science. Vancouver is closer to the North Pole than the equator. Records show that Vancouver gets a yearly average of 46.5 centimetres of snow, almost all of it in December, January and February.

Winter comes every year. It isn’t going to stop coming — at least not in what’s left of my lifetime. I did note Tuesday’s report confirming that 2010 was the warmest year recorded in Canada.

So let’s try to keep a little perspective. Not only is the weather not that bad, it has its attractions. I enjoy a brisk walk in the crisp air. I love the evanescent beauty of skim ice on wetlands, the patterns of hoar frost bursting from the soil, even the nature of the light on these thin, cold days.

My philosophy is simple. You have a choice. You can waste your energy snivelling about a natural event that no amount of talk will prevent, or you can make winter your ally and savour all the fleeting wonders it has to offer while you can.

When the warning came that another “heavy” snowfall was imminent, I did what I usually do. I went out and surveyed my woodpile, all carefully hand split – I use a Swedish wedge which I find handles even the knottiest and most intransigent piece – stacked to air dry according to vintage.

Then I decide the kind of fire I want to light in the high efficiency stove with the glass door we installed in the room from which TV has been banished. I’m partial to alder, myself. But there’s yellow cedar for a lighter blaze, maple for a bed of coals and just in case the power goes out for a couple of days, as it often does in a heavy snow, dense, heavy chunks of Douglas fir split salvaged from a stump.

The makings for a hearty stovetop vegetable stew are ready. The unheated garage chills wine to perfection. Storm lanterns are ready. A good book is at hand. So, waste time complaining if you want.

Meanwhile, on the way out to the woodpile, I noticed the evening primroses are in bloom, snowdrops and daffodils are already peeping through the dark soil. Spring is almost here.

I just came back from Yellowknife this morning. Needless to say that we whine waaay too much about it being 'cold' here.

I am also headed to Montreal next week. Again, we whine waaay too much when it 'snows' here.

im sure their modified suspensions allows them to plow thru snow instead of trampling over it.

A) the "cold" in yellowknife is wayyy different from here, i have friends that moved from BC to TO and they say -3 here feels like -25 in a drier climate like there

B) comparing a city that gets months of snow a year, to a city that MIGHT see a week of snow.. right..

As others have said, winter tires are beneficial in cold temperatures as well, regardless whether it is wet or dry.
