i had no issues driving yesterday with my winter tires and i was out on the highways with 3-4 inches of snow on most of the roads and ice underneath ( Had good traction for driving on ice). Good tires make a hell of a difference. I would recommend the yokahoma ice guard’s to anyone-best thing i bought this year, just my opinion though

FYI, if I was wrong I'd be on summer tires now and be posting how I crashed my car, but since that hasn't happened i'd really appreciate it if u'd just keep your mouth shut, u know my position, i know your position, enough bullshit k?

i think it's funny how i was just out driving and any of the roads I have to travel are clear and i could have summer tires and be fine, i think you underestimate the temperature adjustments that have been happening. 2 weeks ago it was not -2C and sunny the next day after a snowstorm, it was like -10C and not very sunny, thus the roads were not melting at all. By tomorrow afternoon over 90% of the roads will be clear again.

Secondly your telling me to keep my mouth shut? Look at how often I post on here and compare that to the hundreds of useless crap posts you make that nobody cares about. Its honestly like you have no friends, girls, or anything better to do with your time then make posts on a stupid cobalt forum. Also don't say you know my position, you know nothing about me.

Since my winter tires are still on I really don't understand why u continue to bitch about it, wat a pointless waste of time. I state simple facts and all you can do is jump to the negative side of things. Then u attack me anyway possible........for your sake, i hope in person you are more civilized

this forum is getting to be a soap opera. how about we all shut up about the tires and move onto something more upbeat like summer is coming which i for one can not wait for. and my car is running good again. stupid ******* misfires were driving me crazy
#6845
i hear dat, all this water is drivin me crazy, go out drive around, come home and turn on the heaters and blowers to dry my air filter. the only thing good about calgary spring is that summer is almost here.
#6846
I might have to take your offer on that haha, I just saw on the garrett website prices dropped like $1300
#6847
yah if you need some help i would be in.
I hope this snow was some of the last we will see, i really need to get my hydroshield installed as i think my airfilter is getting soaked like jr's is when he drives around
Another question for everyone here. I was going to buy an new deck this weekend and install it myself and was wondering do i need a the bypass kit if i dont have onstar?

Man I did a mini pull with my car merging onto the highway and man... ugh... feels like a tank. Then bam rich code comes on. No big deal really, just confirms my thought that my air filter, maf, throttle body, maybe sc, allllll need cleaning. So yeah that's what I'll be doing... Spring cleaning for my car!
