it's not what you drive but how you drive it. ppl drive suv and 4x4's thinking hah i can drive through anything and i am invincible. then they wind up in the ditch like the one in your pic.

I have the same tires. I wouldn't drive without them in the winter.

Update, I printed out the pictures and left it on his windshield!

Hopefully he won't track me down.

HAHAHA! That is a terrific pic, Phu! I have seen way too many of those around town in the dozen snow storms we seem to have had thus far this winter.

Here are some I took. Just three of the several 4x4s I have seen littered across Denver highways recently. First two are of a pile-up on I-25 two weeks ago that jammed traffic for miles. 7 SUVs and trucks were involved in all and no cars!

Yikes!! Inevitably, stuck or upside-down vehicles in snow storms are SUVs or trucks. My last two vehicles were full size 4WD pickups, and they took a long time to stop. I feel that I'm driving more cautiously now with the Z, and have a winter set of snow tires/wheels currently installed. I've only driven once so far in the snow, and it was a good reminder of what RWD is like in the slippery stuff. Without snows it would be impossible on the stock rubber.

I agree that it's not what you drive, it's how you drive it.
