It's snowing pretty good out there. It's not the fluffy stuff, or the thick stuff, but the in-between kinda snow that's wet/frozen. I drove home and was slippin and sliding all over the place. I thought these trxus tires were supposed to be "good" in snow but i'm not seeing that. Maybe i need some weight back there for traction.

It's kinda fun though :)

I have to agree with you on that one. I was running Trxus too and I thought they were horrible in the wet snow. Great on pretty much everything else though.
We're under s snow advisory for tonight and tomorrow. 5-9" tonight and 5-9" tomorrow...

let some air out. mud tires suck at road snow. once you get a good covering the tires will do much better.

x2. My TrXus suck in the wet snow and the slushy stuff. Once the roads get covered with that hard packed, ice underneath, good stuff, they'll go just fine.

About 6" for me this morning. Made my 30 minute commute to work extra fun. :D

Same here. about 3-4" of snow. i came to a stop at a light and a dodge ram was next to me. He took off while i was sitting there spinning my rear tires and moving no where. I had to put it in 4wd and boy was that fun with a front locker.
wow and to think we aren't even consistently staying below 60....Was almost 70 degrees on sunday.,,
I'll be lucky if I even SEE snow this winter, let alone drive in it. It was 76 degrees on Saturday. I don't know wtf was up with that. Just been REEELY foggy.....

Well we never see snow but around here it was record heat for this time of year (80*) this past weekend.
Well, right now it's sunny and 53.6 degrees Fahrenheit out here...So snow is not an issue quite yet.
High today here was 40 degrees.......right now it is 28 degrees. Tommorrow it is supposed to be 44. When I got up this morning we had a dusting of snow but it didn't last long.
right now here it is about 78 degrees, tomorrow im going to the beach.. LOL sorry had to do it
