Yeah well. Since this threads original posting it has started to sleet, simply sleet. So now what has happened is it snowed 5 inches, rained for half hour then all froze cuz of sleet. These are just about the worst conditions possible.
So we just tried driving from my house to Jens, about a 7 minute drive in normal conditions. Even for my car which I can basically take through any snow conditions, wasn't fairing too well. The RSXs' wheels were spinning...tons.
What I have noticed about the tires just walking around the tracks of the tires...and I dodn't know if its simply cause its such a potent ICE/SNOW/SLUSH mixture but.... on the center directional portion of the tire snow/ice is building up in the tread and when it drives, the track thats left only shows the side tread leaving a mark. The center is blank as though there was no center tread.
I'm sure this is due to the conditions...but so to no avail, we turned around and came back to my house.
