Almost Lost Me:(

It was snowing pretty tough around my parts a couple days ago and im a pizza delivery man so of course, everyone and their left nut wants food delivered.

So as im off to one of my deliveries down a huge ass hill of course, i skid right past the house and nearly into the back of a parked lincoln towncar, thank god for the ebrake which luckily swung the rear end out and swerved enough sideways to miss it. After that i had to traverse the rest of this mountain which has a slight right hand bend near the bottom, as i travel at around 2-3mph down the hill, i come to the bend where it all locks up, i skid across the double yellow inches from a 96ish land cruiser(that wouldve hurt), i yank the e as fast as i could, threw the back end out again in front of a 94ish legend, good thing he didnt skid, as i stopped right in front of him.


So the moral of the story is, KUMHO Ecsta 712's SUCK ASS in the Snow, even 1/4" of it like my area had.

:eek: :eek: I've been looking for a new job and I think you just insipired me to become a pizza delivery boy. Glad to hear you and your car are alright also..... Now to go check out the local Dominos....

yea i heard they rated the Kumho's like a 2 out of 10 or somethin in the snow.:(

dude don't die that would suck ass :bandit: live it up

801 if you get a job, and work hard enough you'll able to pay someone to fix that CV boot in only a week or two!





So do you guys have two sets if tyres that you swap over between summer and winter? or do you buy a set of all season tyres and hope they work ok in the snow? (which is what I assume you did crxlvr, or am I wrong?)

I can only talk for myself by saying that I have 2 sets of tires that I change every spring and fall.

well i have the rims, and i have my stockers, but im prolly the laziest person on earth and just dont feel like ever changing them back, even when my rims are getting messes up with damn road salt and shit, oh well, plus i have wheel locks on my rims, but the damn key was stolen, so im once again too lazy to try to just break em off.
