Snow rally all the roads! But really, I wish I had a fun car out here, the mountain roads are so much more fun than the roads where I live. Went through the Denver area last night and the roads were horrible, some trucker had a retread fly off, it hit us and knocked out alignment off and produced some minor body damage. They're all bastards for using cheap tires. Anyways, it's going to snow all day and we are up on a mountain. Lacking a truck, I'll probably be stuck indoors today. If I do get out, I know there are a ton of old abandoned-ish cars around where I am. Anyways, have a good day oppo.

Retreads are terrible. I had a window taken out by one this past fall.

Do you know how many accidents are caused by people swerving to miss these things in the road. They should be outlawed. Trucking companies say they save them money, but if you see how many prematurely fail I would argue that. Factor in the damage to peoples vehicles, accidents, and the fact that someone has to routinely pick them up from every road in the nation. We should start a petition to outlaw them.

Where in town were the roads bad? Snow fell on Thursday night so most should have been cleared. Sucks about the retread, they are everywhere it seems.

What mountain are at? I'm heading down South to Lake City for New Years. I will be waking up to this view for a few days of snowmobiles and beers.

Oh! The roads were perfectly clear (until you get southwest of the city on the highway). I mean the quality of the road was bad, so many potholes. I'm 40 miles west of Pikes Peak.

Welcome to Colorado! Sorry about the dumb tire situation.

I've been in a situation where a truck lost the entire retread, which resembled a tire laying in my lane. Luckily, the Forester had enough ground clearance and a wide enough track to clear it without issue. I hate to think of what happened to those who weren't able to clear it.

I would gladly join a petition to outlaw retreads.

I have 2 friends that have hit them resulting in bumpers being destroyed, along with a fog light, and the plastic under belly. On one of them it ripped off the under belly entirely leaving another piece of large debris in the road.
