Stretch Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Car got away from me last night. Tried my best to save it but couldn't. Was going about 35mph when it let go. This was with 250lbs of weight in the trunk too.

cstmg8 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 All-seasons: :dumb: I may be misstating that , they are pirelli p-zero's. Maybe a winter tire but def not the snow tread I've seen on tires. Regardless, op get yourself some tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 I have all-seasons on my Camaro (Hankook Optimo H418 to be exact), in the snow they are decent enough around town I suppose. I'm not sure how it was around the rest of Columbus, but the roads in Hilliard were awful last night. I would have expected some snow plows out on the roads but didn't see a single one.

NWill Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I love the "Be careful," instead of the usual "Hey guyz, this is what happens when 7 deerz run out in front of you!1" Glad you're okay, hope the damage isn't too bad.
