Ah yes it's all coming back to me now before Jan all of them were duds.

Could be I'm just so used to hearing the radio blow he forecast out of proportion flights canceled in anticipation of the storm and then it was a dud.

Snow tires.

Now if they only worked.

I don't have em on my Altima, DW has them on her Odyssey. Both are FWD.
Tried both cars tonight, world of difference.
Al was slipping and sliding while Ody handled it like a champ, was just like driving in regular conditions.

They do improve handling but you still can get stuck in a small amount of snow.

You have to also take into account the difference of size/weight between the two cars.

I've driven the Ody without them in the snow. Not fun.

That can go both ways with inertia

Still more fun than an altima, I bet.

[Dan]

Not sure if you're right about that.

I remember my father loading the back of his car with heavy bags of salt (which we had for a water filtering system) to help add traction. It made a world of a difference. Sometimes he used to have us get into the back too. (Back wheel drive)

My Shver puts cinder blocks in the back of his ~'94 Previa (AKA the egg) in the winter.
