Snow fun at all....just kidding...lots an lots of fun

Postby TooMuchControl » Mon Jan 17, 2022 5:55 pm

Today was an amazing day in Toronto.

We had 12 inches of snowfall accumulate by midday. It's not a now belt place, we get one or two good storms per year now. Sometimes 3-4 inches.

Today with drifts, there was easily 14-16 inches on the sidewalks and had to help some neighbours dig out.

Point being - it was fantastic.
I just trotted along like nothing could stop me.

First guy at the Coffee Time Drive Thru, the lot was completely blanketed to the mid-wheel. Not one person even tried to enter the lot.
Me - I GOTS TO TRY IT.
No problemo at all.

Life small pleasures encapsulated inside of an R51.

To note: I purchased, on this forums recommendations, the KUMHO CRUGEN HT51 All Weather this past summer.

Was hoping to get a real challenge for the tires to prove their worth in Winter. I got it. For the price point and the all weather tested performance. It's a great tire value.

It's an excellent tire for highway, very quiet, and now for certain, very deep snow.

It's not a winter tire, but in 4WD, there is zero, no, issues getting around.

I'm with palmerwmd. No snow where I live unless I head up into the mountains and even then it's only a few inches.

Even a dash video would have been amazing ; )
