We got a little snow Thursday night (the huge flake kind). The Pilot Sport A/S tires got me home OK. It's the other drivers on the road at rush hour that increase the pucker factor. Spring will be here soon.

My wife drives her 04 to work every day. Sometimes she even lets me drive it on the weekend if I've been good during the week
