we ve a issue here. ppl are runnning winter/ice tire during summer.

they test 3 season against winter tire on dry and wet pavement. Winter tire has a longer braking distance by 15% and less stability. softer compound and side wall.

here how quebeker thing. ok my winter tire are finished, keep them until next year and then buy new winter tire. but in fact you spend more money in gaz and it more dangerous.

used winter tire during summer are just good for excessive burn out lol

*Sigh* sadly the majority of ppl would be stupid enough to do that too.......*Shakes head* we will never win :(

all right all ready, gee listen nate i know you don't mean some of the things you say. all i am saying to you is refrain from putting your damn foot in your mouth. that way you have a less chance of pissing people off. enough of the tire conflict of alberta here. it is all good there is good arguements on both sides. personally i am sick of it. lol so i hope everyone has a great holiday if you are looking for me check my house plan on hibernating for a couple of days lol

if you are sick of it just go on fail.net with that kind of comment


where are still in canada and not in china.

if we talk about winter, ice rate tire, all season or 3 season, wtf tire are made for, its because it a hot topic to talk.


BTW
ice tire are shit in snow conditions. today it snowy and ice dont have traction on snow compare to a snow tire.

winter tire design with big aggresive block
ice tire is designed with softer strip compound that its more flexible on ice.

that depend your need
if you do lot of stop and red light: ice tire
if not snow tire

I would say in general it is ice tires that the moronic drivers would be better with, ice is very dangerous to an unexperienced driver and again with ice u just keep sliding unless u know how to counter steer and modulate the brake properly.

one thing sure, it is that ABS are good on ice because you can steer with controle and slow down. when u lock the brake it go straight same if you streer. the key is to pratice in a big parkong lot.

a good driver should never activate the abs, i think in the 3 years i've owned my car i've activated the abs maybe 5 times.

I got to disagree.

A good driver will still use abs, because we're all human and sometimes we push to hard... where the abs kicks in .

abs is there to assist everyday drivers.... Even "professionals" use it... Lots of variables.. Tired, too much pressure. hit a bump while braking

My semi has abs....
