More photos..
The new Bridgestones.. Excellent!
Not much clearance... actually plowed snow in some areas
Glad i don't have the springs installed yet!
With Flash..
Without Flash.. (would have been better with a tripod and the right settings)
Back home for the meltdown
Overall, this thing is great in the snow.. excellent traction and control. Just put it in snow mode and drive.. Just leave extra room for breaking of course. Other than clearance issues (if we had more snow), the GS performs better than the wifes RX .. but if she had an 07 RX with the newer technology it would probably be better..
Oh, And Charlie had a blast today too!

I gotta say my 06 430 sucks in the snow.
Damn traction control works overtime, and I end up
going 2 mph for a while, then it stops me half way up
the hill.
I didnt try different settings, like snow or even OFF
because I got home. Should snow here again soon
so more on that later.

Awesome pics!
Reminds me of last year when I took a Tahoe Trip with my FWD Integra. I had some fun in the local unplowed neighbors there. It was fun. Good times.
Maybe i'll post some pics too.

Awesome, I love driving in the snow. Just wish we'd get more this winter. Haven't had a real snow storm yet in NY and winter is half over. Which Bridgestones are those?
