A little fun in the snow
 
Took my wife and daughter out for a little sledding today. I really just wanted to try out my new tires.

They are amazing. I had them siped also and they really grip. I was in over a foot of snow and never had a problem. Even when I hit the throttle a little to try to spin it wouldn't. I had to stomp on it to break tracktion. I slammed on the brakes on icey snow pack and stopped w/ very minimal slipping. I was impressed. I havn't siped tires before but will from now on.

A machine makes lots of cuts across the tread from side to side. It cuts about half way into the tread giving them greater flexibility. The cuts are spaced about 1/4 of an inch apart. When the tread flexes it gives many more edges to grip and bite. Better for snow and ice. It is supposed to increase the life of the tires also.

The tires are Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's 31 10.5 15's They cost 595.98. Gotta love e-bay :D

Colony Tire right now is running a buy one get one half off on Mastercraft tires..I priced out some Courser M/Ts..32x11.5 for only $663 including all the goodies!!!! Thats as close as I've ever found to Ebay (I don't like buying ebay..)

And this makes me not only want new tires on..but some deep snow in general...NC is kinda lame sometimes [&o]
