Both suburbans are from Texas and have all-purpose radials. Paid the wrecker driver $80.00 this afternoon to pull the '04 our of a bar ditch - really icy roads. At 30 MPH, rear-end swung around on a back tar-road without any warning - right off the road into a snow bank. Completely my fault for driving the 2WD beyond my experience given the weather conditions.
Do ya'll maintain a seperate set of Winter tires and swap them seasonally here in SW MN? If so, what type of tire? Need some expert/experienced advice.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
