Re: Winter tires

First, let me say that I have absolutely NO business being in a 
winter tire thread.

Ahhhaaahahahahahaha!
That tire has even LESS business in this thread! Leave it to 
good ole CR -- IDIOTS!

My car had those same Firepigeons on it when I bought it. The 
only good thing I can say about them is that they were quiet in 
a straight line. They squealed and rolled like Ned Beatty in the 
turns, and were incompetent in the snow/ice (infrequent here). 
Kinda sucked in the wet, too.
