I would not recommend performance tires for winters in Indiana.

Goodyear RS-A All-season run-flat.

It's what I run. Heavy and expensive, but they get the job done.

Sounds like you made the wrong choice for Indiana winters....

Have fun "riding shotgun" today.

I have Falken Ziex 512s that were rated #1 by consumer reports for all season tires in the same size you listed. And they are inexpensive. Just google or froogle them for the best prices. They are not runflats, which makes them even better. I just keep a can of fix a flat in the boot, just in case. They ride so much smoother than the summer Pirelli runflats, which I still use in the other three seasons.

Can't make it today, though, but have a good time. Should be some great opportunities for pictures. I just drove through Brown County last night after visiting my family in Lawrenceburg. Nice drive with little traffic. Made it that much better.

Drive safely.

Hey guys,
I just got back from the Sunday snow drive. Lucky me didn't have accident but I did slide very bad. I've almost hit other car couple times. I guess my next upgrade would be the snow tire package. I have to save money now.

Heard you all had a good time (sauf Cheryl ).

I know that there are more in the works. Hopefully I will not be required in the office during the next one.
