now THAT is funny..... unless there is a new Falken Snow tire line, that is FUNNY!

 

I'm not the superstitious type ... but it started snowing right after I put on my summer tires.

 

Andy,
ring ring ring "Hello Work, I have the shiz nits and I will not be in today" click (hang up)

 

I was thinking about you summer tire guys today....Sunday seemed so nice, I had delusions of super sticky Goodyear Eagle's...but I'm holding off another month now...

 

You call that snow dude?

THIS is snow!

 

Actually, I think you have stalagtites.

You also have sipes. Azenis are quite snow unfriendly.

 

Got Chains?

 

OMG, I actually tried taking my MINI out one night when I had the Azenis on it. I barely slid to the bottom of the street without blowing right through an intersection. How the car managed to climb back up the strret (very shallow grade) is beyond me, because those tires have zero grip in snow.

 

"Actually, I think you have stalagtites."

I think they call those dingle berries

 

 

Snow? It's 85 degrees in Vegas today!

 

Indy forecasted snow for this morning (Tues) and tomorrow (Wed). I changed back to stock Monday evening. At least I had a week on the fun tires. Looks like chance of snow forecasted now till next week.

 

i haven't seen snow since i was a wee tyke.

i would love to have the opportunity to come outside and see snow all over my car.

heh, suckas!

but seriously, not having snow-aside, i hate texas.

I thought about changing from my Snow Sports back to the Eufori@s last week-end, as we had 60 degree weather in Cincinnati. Held off though, and glad I did so. Today we had 4 - 6 inches of snow that fell. Might have more tomorrow. I'm ready for spring!

 

Sorry we don't have snow to show off.

Speaking of Bad idea and Falken Azenis tires.

At the last autocross we had a MINI sporting brand new Falken Azenis tires being used for an event.
Personally I would have listened to Alex@tirerack and thought about shaving and heat cycling them or maybe at least scrubbing them a bit.

(Edited: My bad. I talked to Eric at Helix13 and he said for autocross it isn't crucial to go through the expense or trouble to shave and heat cycle (that is recommended by some for track use). Azenis can be dual use- street and autocross so if this is the case just use them a bit to wear them. Eric hasn't used shaving for his autoX tires and the heat cycling will happen by itself as your drive your runs.

Erik808 did very well indeel and props to him at the last autocross.
No disrepect intended. It's all my error. Sorry.)

I don't think you can expect as good performance in that situation.

Andy, I wish I snapped a pic before I cleaned off my car this am...
I just put on my summer tires (BS SS-03/16x7 SSR GT1's) saturday
after seeing a "favorable" 10 day forcast on weather.com.....
I had about 3/4 inches of frozen slush and ice caked over my west facing
tires, wheels, brakes, rotors, ...

Bad Winter, ... BAD WINTER... go to your dog house (greenhouse?)!
And don't come back until you've thought about what you've done.

Here, Springy, Springy, Springy, Heeeere, Springy, Springy, Springy...

(I can't take credit fot that one....anybody remember the "sniglets" books??? I think I'm dating myself here....)

Another "sniglet" was "essoasso" (a person who cuts through a gas station to avoid wating at a traffic light)

We just got dumped with several more inches of the slushy variety. I have mastered the momentum-is-your-friend method of getting up the rise in the driveway here at work. :evil:
