[Biturbos4] Winter Tire Help

[Step88]

This year I tried the first snow with my stock Bridgestone Potenza's just to
see if the snows made that much difference.  After sliding around more than
I liked, I put on my set of Blizzak LM-22's that night.  The difference is
night and day.  It's money well spent.
