I had my summer tires on and there was snow!!! The BFG G force are great tires but not designed for anything resembling snow and cold weather. I alleviated the issue by installing my snow tires last night. The blizzaks are so smushy soft.

Twist... you did die and now you're a ghost with winter tires. One cannot survive snow with summer tires.

I made it 8 miles in an M3 on PSS in 6-12 inches of snow. If it weren’t for the steep hill leading up to my neighborhood, I would have made it. I had to ditch it and walk home:(

I’m surprised that you didn’t get high centered. My car get’s pretty up on the snow around 8", then I really need momentum to keep moving.

It was touch and go. I had to turn on my rear window defroster. I even tried to spin the tires but my 150 HP wasn’t up to the task.

No bueno. My scariest moment in the snow was in a blizzard in Missouri just before Christmas in a 2WD Xterra with an empty UHaul trailer behind. Jack-knifed it on a small highway, got going again, and then w hite knuckle for hours on I-70... Should’ve parked it and waited. Young and dumb.

:( Glad all is well!

My worst time was when I hit a little black ice on a corner one fine morning in the winter in 2015 at all of 50kph and spun around and hit the back of the Accent on a guardrail...that feeling of helplessness was not pleasant! $1300 in repairs and several winters later and she’s still going strong!

I’ve punted into snow banks numerous times, lucky to not have hit anything solid.

It was slushy on the highway and I literally had to drift around slower cars and get back into the center lane to keep momentum. It would have made for great dash cam footage.
