Yes be very careful on any suspended roadway
They get a lot colder than the rest of the road
So little thermal mass means it cools quicker
Very dangerous
Yeah it heats up fast to and ices over when it cools again
and it's usually a narrowed section of road too, for cost savings, so it's already a more dangerous section then the rest
Winter driving ain't no joke
all in all, bridges are bad juju
Drive well below the speed limit lol
I'm driving a fwd minivan for the time being, got winters on the front and all seasons on the back (all the shop had at the moment and mine were bald)
Better than bald man
so I putt around with 200 lbs of sand and salt bags in the back to keep it planted
You dont want bald tires in the winter you will probably kill someone sliding into them
Oh absolutely
even in the summer, you hydroplane on anything more than a misting at highway speeds
Hydroplaning is so scary
Slush is very very dangerous too
Avoid slush
My traction control was kicking in when I was accelerating anything more than gentle from a stop, so I bit the bullet and got em done that afternoon. We had snow coming down for a couple weeks right after that so I really didnt want to risk shopping around and losing these two i found
two winter tires i mean
As many as you can at least lol
man i remember one of the winters here the roads were nothing but ice rinks
I got myself a set of rims from a wrecker and pit my winters on em so I dont have to pay for the switch
literally skating with your car
Any kind of acceleration is a slip probably lol
I planned on doing that but also consider the likelihood that this van dies this winter anyways
Don't drive rear wheel drive in the winter if you can avoid it
my current vehicle is all wheel drive, thank god
Or at the very least dies before next winter. I'll burn up these tires next summer just because of my lack of confidence it'll last another year
I'm looking into an awd ford taurus next
And is good. They are a little more on gas tho since its always on
Awd
cheap parts, reliable everything, and plenty of police bull bars as cheap deer catchers
Gotta watch for them dummies lol
They will literally wait until you get to them and then bounce right infront of your car
And never say YOU hit the deer
The deer hit you
Oh absolutely
Its like they assume you ran the deer down if you say you hit it
For all the city driving I was talking about with mike before, I spend a lot of time driving country roads and woods roads come hunting season and ice fishing, know exactly what you mean
