          I'm curious to see how my new tires handle in the snow. Last year I had the stock ones on and they were garbage and I slid and got stuck a few times...it was terrible. I have the Firehawk GTs on there now and I hope they'll give me a little more grip.

            I had my Goodyear Eagle F1 All Seasons last winter and they worked GREAAAT. However they have signifigant less tread left on them this year.. They're 30,000mi tires since they're directional, and I got them around 30,000mi, and I'm almost at 50,000mi, a few hundred short. I'll need new tires by middle-end of the summer.

                  i did not mean it in any way to be insulting i was saying that my tires suck because they are the stockers and i thought that many of you all had the same problems with your tires in the winters


                  this was not attacking anyone... sorry if that is theway it sounded

                            Just kiddin bro haha

                            Does lowering it cause much of a problem? Is it just the obvious reason that in deeper snow you're getting hung up more or is there something I'm not thinkin of?

                            I'm actually kinda excited to see how my new tires do. Mine were so shitty last season that I sat on a slight grade creeping up the ice while people passed me for like 10 minutes haha. That was a really bad icy day, but my tires definitely weren't helping a thing.

                              the problem is that the streets dont get plowed and the snow and slush just hits the body and draggs on the undercarage...
