Default I'm unstoppable!!! :) Snow tire story.

I thought we would never get snow and finally the other day we got a whopping 2".

So I ran out to test my new Hakkapeliitta 2s. Came out of the driveway and slammed on the brakes. Screeched to a stop like I was on dry ground with my Azenis.

Went around the neighborhood trying to get the tires to break loose going around corners with no problems. Got to a hill with packed snow and some ice and got up the hill with no problems. Tires didn't even peep a sound.

Went to work later that night and there were drifts and ice everywhere - my car didn't even hiccup

So let me tell you if you thought about getting snow tires these tires ROCK!
