don't do it.....
I live in Chattanooga TN (1.5 away from Atlanta, GA) where the area was effected by snow storm 2 weeks ago...
Very sad that all the cities around my area was not prepare the snow will actually sticks to the ground this time....
the snow was NOT EVEN half an inch.... on my way home from work which is 8 miles away. My car swayed and slided a little bit when I stopped at the a stop sign and 3-4 red lights (I was driving in snow mode, wasn't going fast, 20 mph.), luckly no one hit me. Geeeez!
Along the way... I have to got on the free way... let me tell you, I am a very safe driver...and that's the worst driving experiance I ever had!
The best part is that....when I got to my apartment... I got stuck in the snow and can't reach my parking spot... SMH! The kind apartment maintance guy have to grab salt, shovel and push my car out of the embarrassment.... Me and my car was completly defeated by 1/8" of snow LMAO
here's the picture if you want a laugh lol:


Anyway...don't attempt to drive our car in the snow with Summer tires, it only going to be trouble or wrost...
my tires are Potenza S02 Pole Position.

This is my car after pulling it from the garage last week. This is my 2nd winter with the car, and it has only been through two real "snow showers". We get enough snow to stick to the rounds maybe once a year where I live, so I just keep summer tires on the car year round (Pilot Supersports). This car is virtually useless with summer tires and untreated roads, and if I lived somewhere that got snow regularly, I'd definitely get a winter beater.
