Blizzaks, the ONLY way to go for serious winter drivers, AWD aint nothing if you have crappy tires, since they're the only thing in contact with the road

I much prefer Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2s to all others.

They provide excellent snow and ice traction as well as competant handling and feel on dry or wet pavement. I don't think you can say the same for many snows out there.

So for tonight, I think we should park at the back of the Hannafords lot, since the lot in front of Longhorn gets crazy packed.
