[Shotimes] (OT) Good buys on winter tires

[Zach Leahy]

Yeah It's been pretty fridig.  I had to clean up the garage (2car) to bea
able to get both SHOs and the bike in it....  With the green one on
jackstands currently.  (Koni's are on the way).

I noted that the red car can be induced into oversteer on the fluff a lot
easier than the green car could.  I then rmembered the tires on the red car
are a bit uneven in tread wear, the back being a bit less than the front.
It's not liek ridiculous, you have to want to make it oversteer to do it (IE
come through the turn and then drop the throttle and turn in tighter).  Fun,
but controllable.  I may swap the Kuhmo ASXs over to the red car if the grip
gets bad, but I don't like putting a 245 40 17 in the snow.  It just creams
"Bend a rim"
