[pianotech] winter tires

[Gerald Groot]

You will never regret buying all 4.  Trust me.  I've done it for years now
and I still can't get over the difference!

Thanks for the reminder! My nephew manages a Bridgestone up in the Seattle
area. I'll have to have him fix up my Acura! Last year I did $800 worth of
front end damage to my minivan skidding on ice - there went a couple days
worth of tuning!! This year I'm definitely going with winter tires!

Getting off-track a bit from the other thread - I'm amazed what the new
winter tires do for regular cars. 
We got rid of my wife's 4x4 last year, but got a set of Bridgestone Blizzaks
for her New Beetle.  This was 
after reading about the tests comparing the traction between 4 wheel drive
with all weather tires and 
dedicated winter tires.  Winter tires win in all areas except hill climbing.
While my Scion Xb was sledding
around the snowy streets, I could barely get a slide out of her car!  (If I
didn't enjoy sliding around, I would
probably get a set for myself!)
