Wow. Hope all turns out well. Had the 2nd snow day with my Nokians. Been impressed with them and with the 911. Though I may imagine this, I think I prefer'd the boxster to the 911 in the snow. Boxster seemed more nimble (had blizzaks at the time). Though these winter tires set me back a bit, would never drive without them (this time of year).

Glad to hear your OK, and it sounds as if the car can be fixed.

Here's a pic from last spring, I too found that summer tires have their limitations!

I've had winter tires put on my car every winter since I bought it and I haven't regretted it once. The day I was to put my tires on the first time we got 3 inches of snow. Let me tell you.. the drive to the dealership on my summer tires was a nervous, slow, awful experience.

I've always seen all-season tires as a "jack of all trades, master of none" sort of thing. The one thing I'm *not* gonna compromise on is my safety, my passenger's safety and the safety of those around me.
