Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I have an email in to the platform FPGA designer in Mexico. I sent it last night around 8pm and he still hasn't responded. I can't do shit with the bug I'm chasing till he does...

If the FPGA team wasn't so protective of their code I would probably be able to figure out what's wrong with it myself, but I can't look at it because they don't give it to anyone. So here I sit.

EDIT: house smashing party tonight, who's down? We will rip things off the walls inside my house and then burn them.

Didn't those just ride all the way back with someone from PA for you? What is wrong with those now?

I'll never understand winter/summer wheels deal. Get a vehicle that doesn't need them.

Yes, that's where those came from. Nothing is wrong with them. No one said anything was wrong with them. I was just posting them as an example of rims that I own for my car and comparing the look of a 17 to 18 on my car.

If you'll never understand it, I'm not going to waste my hot air explaining it.

I understand studded snow tires, but that's about it (we have them on the grand marquis)

Even then they only help so much. Still have to beat the crap out of the thing to get it up the driveway with a few inches of snow on the ground.

Eh, I guess. Still would rather something that I can put in 2wd and have the rear wheels powered like god meant it to be.

There's your problem.

Studs make the most difference on ice, not in regular snow, too. I think I'd only own studded tires in areas where the roads never thaw down to pavement in the winter (Alaska, parts of Canada, probably Montana, etc)

I can drive my VW through 7" of fresh snow with my snow tires on if I have to. It wasn't pretty, but it went.


What's not to understand about softer compound, lots of square tread blocks, and tons and tons of siping?

my winter tires sat on the porch this winter cuz i was to lazy to change em out, they do work awsome in the snow though, and while were on the subject of tow pig tires/rimz if i had my choice i likes the power wagon rims with these tires
GTI-04568150000.jpg


if 1/2 tons didnt suck so much dick at towing id so rock a dodge with 22" srt rims
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Meh what ever. My snow tires on the Honda kick ass. My dad's truck has those ghey Michelin's (that GM puts on every truck) in 4 wheel can't make it out of my driveway, but my Civic will. I've driven in snow where it piles up over my hood and just kept going. I can move on ice even without studs. The only reason I like having winter wheels is so I dont have to pay for the tires to be swapped twice a year. The car looks half decent with pretty alloys in the summer and get's better mpgs with lighter wheels in the summer. Then in the winter I toss on the ugly rims that I don't care about when they rust.

We have them studded specifically for our driveway. When the snow melts and then freezes, our ENTIRE driveway is a sheet of ice since it's uphill and it all runs down to the street. I had to have my CTD in 4WD, in 3rd in 4HI at about 2500 rpms to get it up.

They're far better than snow tires I'll tell you that (my first XJ had blizzaks on it).

I edited the post you quoted for clarity... I wasn't saying that studs are the problem, but that you only see the benefit of them on ice.

The compount of the tires on your truck is probably hard as a rock which won't help either.

Blizzaks are one of the best (but grossly overpriced) snow tires out there. I guess if getting up the driveway is the hardest thing the vehicle sees then yeah, that's what you measure it against...

Haha, that's funny. I haven't towed anyone in my VW yet.

The first year I owned it I had all seasons on through the winter. Damn things suck in the snow and don't have nearly the grip of UHP summer tires. Can't wait till they're worn out and I can get something more agressive for the summer.

Agreed on both counts. I'm not saying the blizzaks sucked either, they were pretty good.

Not sure if you were being sarcastic on the last part or not, but yes getting up my driveway in the winter is how I measure everything. It's uphill, you start from a dead stop since it's perpendicular to the street, and it's always a sheet of ice underneath any sort of snow.
