So a friend of mine down here in cinci (bradsi on these forums) is betting me 200 dollars that i can't go through the whole winter season with the stock pirelli on my 07 cobalt ss/sc, so we are about to find out! The bet is i can't get into a wreck caused by me, or get stuck somewhere and have to get towed out. Anyone think i can make it?? Thanks for all the good lucks to come!!!!!

oh yah,

*puts on flame suit*

 

i would learn to spell the name of the tire first

 

uhhh i don't think so, but good luck you will need it

 

happy now mommy??

 

i thought it was daddy?

 

Damn that will be hard. I didnt drive mine at all during the winter. It was a bitch.

 

that would be easy just grandma that **** everywhere , put some subs in and slab

 

He just lost 200 dollars...

as long as you don't completely suck and take it easy you will be fine

EDIT* 3-4 inches plus....don't bother lol

 

Yah i never said it would be a breeze, but lets hope for an easy winter in cincy

This is basically just in response to everyone and their mom asking if they can get by without getting winter tires haha

 

Yes... I survived TWO CALGARY ALBERTA winters with my stock p-zero's.
Cincy for me would be a ****** breeze

 

what did you guys define a wreck as?

 

i wouldn't take that bet. you're going to have zero traction on your summer tires in the snowy icy streets of ohio.

 

i have two 12" mtx subs in the trunk which should help alot haha
A wreck being me hitting anything that i shouldn't haha? telephone pole, hitting the curb, etc.

 

Im more worried you'll be getting stuck my friend. And I also said it depends on what kinda of winter we have here. And yah BG has 2 subs in the trunk.

Goodluck to you, winner doesn't have to pay food for Christmas shopping time and gets $200.

 

i think youll take out a curb or two

 

haha hell yeah if it ices over your fucked , i was driving from el paso to austin at 3 in the morning and there was a road block because someone got into a bad accident because of black ice well they let us go by and there was about a 1/4 mile of black ice and right when i hit it i was going 25 i started sliding and i didnt really lose control but i got it down to like 10 MPH and just cruised through it

Moral of the story , if it ices over your fucked unless you drive under 15 MPH

 

Should we mention the incline your driveway is on Brian? Or where you park at work? Hehe

 

Oh yes, i get a few free meals now too... haha

Also i dont think we decided on if my driveway counts as the bet or not, but brads gonna post a picture of it, and btw, yes that is my awesome 93 dodge shadow in the background at the very top!

 

sounds like bad news. ****, if i was local i would take that bet with you too!

 

why would you risk it? I just made the argument for someone today that those tires are max performance summer rated tires, not designed for winter driving.

$200 if you make it for the winter, or if you crash you owe him $200 and then you have to repair your balt.... sounds like a dumb bet to me

 

that's an easy bet to win if you have a beater or another form of transportation when there's snow on the ground...good luck either way

 

ive done it. drove my car from florida to chicago and lived there through the winter and had no problems

 

haha yah call me an idiot if you want. I just find it funny that people KEEP posting about if they can get by through winter with them or not, so you all can use me as an example if something bad happens haha

 

It's steeper than it looks. I hate going up it.. My clutch hates it too.


Oh and Dodge Shadow FTW! I love that car...

+rep for bringing that post into it!

But we all have to remember, what kind of winter Cincy will have.

 

Is the shadow a V6? 2.2 turbo? I had a white one with a 3.0L
