I've got a set of forged 2001 Zo6 wheels with brand new goodyears on them, complete with pressure sensors if you'd like them. I don't need them anymore since I bought 18/19's

And I thought my vette looked bad this morning. I have a good coat of Zaino and Rain-X on it. All the rain yesterday and last night beaded up and froze. But I do have some tread on my rear tires; I just changed them a few weeks ago.

Glad you made it home safe and without donuts.

23rd? Were you out with the Ghost of Christmas Future?

Racing slicks (kidding) and snow = not good.

You have bigger and more ***** than I do.

I have driven my Z06 on totally bald Hoosier R3S03s in a pouring rain on a busy highway with a 65 mph speed limit and I had to slow down to 45 mph. I have driven my '94 VW Golf (fwd) on half bald Falken Azenis (semi race tires) on ice/snow.

But driving a powerful rwd on snow on bald tires. That just tops out mine.

You must have forgotten the Christmas of 1982 when it never got above freezing in central FLA. and every state in the 48 had snow. It was as far south as Miami.

What tire pressures do you run??! Has to be close to 40 PSI! Wayyyy toooo much! I run 29-30 cold and get outstanding wear.

I think youre drive home would have made a good Fear Factor challenge!! I can see it now

I don't think you drove home, I think you actuallly Skated home

Snow doesn't hurt the car, all though it does make a mess..it's the salt that wiill get ya...and it doesn't look like they had a chance to salt the roads...although with your Artic White I don't think we could tell the difference anyway.

Glad you made it home safe
