the deranged one  Group: Advanced Members Posts: 5,132 Member No.: 34 Joined: Oct 1st 2002 Location: Vancouver, Canada | well....winter is here and it's getting pretty frosty out and I have bald ass tires and I dunno if/when imma get new ones so you think putting like maybe a few sand bags in my trunk would be a good idea or just a waste of my time? I already slip around corners in the rain btw. this has nothing to do wif Initial D..just wondering what you people would do heh. |

IDW Prime Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 578 Member No.: 148 Joined: Dec 16th 2002 Location: Brisbane, Australia | *sigh* Sticking sandbags in your car is like, really stupid. The increased inertia will see you overshooting corners, never mind having it in the boot, which will see your rotational inertia increase too. Spins will be even less recoverable than currently with you running slicks on snow. Drive slower...its not great, but you'll live through winter cheaper than that new set of tyres you so desperately need, or a new car. Harder tyres will reduce the contact patch of the tyre, which may be enough to punch through soft snow, but i doubt it'll do much. Safest bet is to not drive like a loon...and wait the winter out. |

Unregistered | think about that one for a while? I'm not the cretin without snow chains on bald tyres wanting to put sandbags in the back of the car. |
