Yup: welcome to the forum. Cut geezer some slack: we're in a planetary Mercury Retrograde and that tends to foul up communications.
Particularly in Australia. They're closer to the moon than us, you know.
The greatest gift you have to give to the world is that of your own self~transformation.
What do you guys run for rear wheels? spikes? I have never thrown any sand bags in my bed during the winter, but maybe I should. The one issue I have with the truck is the tail end is light and gives up traction. Now if we are talking rain...I can do 80mph in a downpour and not get a bit of hydroplane. BFG Radial T/A's have that nice big grooved style tread that give water a place to go.Originally Posted by pennyman1
When I ran my Mazda in winter I actually had a bald rear tire, which might have actually been beneficial for icy roads, but I also had like 120lbs of cat litter over the rear wheels. I also drive nothing but manual trans, so I could start off from a stop in second second gear and, could keep the car out of the power-band.
The few times I've driven a "modern" fwd car with an auto trans in winter, I either got sideways more than once or in the case of my dad's Chevy Cavalier, down a 15ft ditch and on the roof.
