[s-cars] snow tires

[Charles Baer]

C'mon Taka, learn the thrill of turning the wheel and having the face
of the tire edge sideways in the snow!!

Nonetheless, I run 225/45R17 Vredestein Wintracs, they're great when
blasting thru the snow down 285 from Boulder to Wolf Creek Pass.  Hap's
right too, I still had them mounted when I chased him leaving the CO
Brakefest in April; they were a little squirmy during the canyon run
up to Scoops but held their own.
