I wonder if the Dunlop tires were based on region? WHat kind of Dunlops were they? I had the same RE040 on my Z, not impress by them. I do have to say thtat they are great tires to learn how to race on since they were so predictable.

I just went slow and easy, giving it a little bit of gas to get rolling and then accelerating slowly. Not one problem. I was expecting some terrible times going to and from work since, at least by my house, everything was still snowy and icy (don't know about today since I haven't looked outside) until I get closer to town where it is more thawed, although quite icy when I get off work at 12:30 a.m. I was dreading it last night because I have to go up some pretty decent hills and around several sharp curves to get home, and I still did fine. I don't have any extra weight added to my trunk unless you count a blanket and oil basically, or the spare tire kit.

I just don't think people realize they have to drive more "gently" in those kinds of conditons, and, if they do realize it, a lot of them don't actually do it.

Seriously people, don't listen to her. Terrible advice.
