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

Its funny how you just keep trying to justify it to yourself by making stupid comments like that. You seem like such an arrogant douche who can't admit that he was wrong.

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.

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?

First off do you think I am an idiot? I too live in this city and I work outside all day and night. I am VERY aware of the weather and temperature changes around this city. Ok so the roads you drive today were clear, but what would you do if you were out somewhere when the snow hit? or you had some sort of emergency and had to get somewhere? But enough arguing over your stupid tires, its been beaten to death already.

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.

I'd say do it yourself. The hardest part is tapping into your oil pan for the oil line otherwise its just bolting everything up. I'm sure there are a bunch of us on here (me included) that would be more than willing to help you out

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

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!
