Officially Winter

JaceTheAce · November 27th, 2006, 19:20

Just put the snow tires on along with the black 14 inch steelies and hubcaps! woohoo! God hubcaps looks so ugly

One hupcap cracked last year so I only have 3...looks ghetto, so if you see a car with 1 missing hupcap revealing some sweet $20 wheels, say hi.

Tom are you ready to film a new drift video?

Tires that are very grossly unstable due to thick tread depth and friggin scary to drive more than 75MPH on dry pavement in windy conditions

.....but fun to drive with in the snow

I see, we just put all season tires on the Subaru and we can go anywhere. Now that I think about it, none of our vehicles have winter tires. I just gather alot of weight to put in the back end of the trucks

take the polar opposite of performance, grippy tires.... and you have the round donuts of gelatin called snow tires.

YES!!!

I'm thinking some tandam parallel drifting on 20th street through that S. We'll have to run the stop sign to do it. Then we could go through the S on 42nd. After that I'm thinking some 80mph slides on interstate on and off ramps. Then good old slolem drifting around the poles in the walmart or menards parking lot.

Is ND one of those states that doesnt allow studded winter tires? Gotta love studs, definitely gives you the advantage when rally racing in empty icy parking lots, plus at night it's cool to see the sparks fly!

ND does allow them. They can only be on during a certain period though.

flyguy969 · November 27th, 2006, 22:22

Hopefully I can beat it to Florida before the first snow!!

Sorry, it's against SOPs.

I may end up buying these used studded tires that someone is selling here - $40 for all 4 tires and the exact same tire size for my car's spare winter wheels, you can't beat the fun in ice autocrossing!!!

I can't wait for the first ice autocross on Devil's Lake...will be in February.

It appears that studded tires are allowed basically 364 days out of the year, where the one day it's sunny and above freezing is reserved for non-studded tires only

Are studded tires allowed in North Dakota?

They are allowed from October 15 to April 15. School buses, however, are allowed to employ studded tires any time of year, as long as they are moving school children.

You gotta remind me about that event. That will be way more entertaining to watch than the other event I did. lol

You can ride with me if you want...I know at least 2 other people will want to ride. The more people in the car, the heavier the car and the greater the grip! I will of course be filming it with my headrest camera mount.

UAL747400 · November 27th, 2006, 23:57

No no, I want to drive in this.

If they let a sloppy old lady car in there with all seasons of course. DORIFTO!!!

Yeah ND allows studs but my understanding is MN doesn't. So drive to East Grand Forks for dinner/cabelas/whatever else there is to do in EGF and you risk getting a ticket.

I think it'd be pretty easy to get away with it, unless a cop was outside and heard your noisy tires on the pavement. But if caught, I'm sure the ticket would be costly since traffic tickets in MN are so high.

MrLeisure757 · November 28th, 2006, 13:35

I was just out driving. The Camry does really well in snow, so I was just fine. It made me really want a beater car though to drift around...

TXaviator · November 28th, 2006, 17:40

#### my celica is downright scary now with the 17's on

all-season potenza's my ass.
