...and we are going to get the multiple thread we get every year about the RX8 in snow. Listen people, what is so hard to understand here. PUT FRICKIN SNOW TIRES ON THE CAR!...good. Now there is no more to discuss on the subject.


(ps. for the really dense people here...you need to use 4 snow tires not just two)

 

I solve the problem, by just parking the car during the winter..

 

best.advice.ever

winter garage storage > michigan blizzard/ice storms

 

Let's not forget about the "What is this strange gunk on my oil dipstick?" theme for those of us who have the older 8s. You can have the Tech Bulletin work done or just keep dipping/wiping/dipping/wiping until you get a reading. But the gunk doesn't hurt anything.

 

gunk? lol waaaaaaa

i'm just worried about the salt

 

now where's the fun in that? Especially if you are leasing the car. Heck if you financed it and you're making monthly payments on the 8, shouldn't you at least enjoy something from the money you're shelling out?? :-P

 

oh oh, here come the "My TPMS light came on in the morning" threads.

 

Ok Rotten, I will take your advice. But……….

Where do you put the snow tires. Will two fit on the hood, one on the roof, and one on the trunk? How do I keep them from scratching the paint? How do I make sure that they don’t fall off?

(I just couldn’t resist) LOL

 

Crazy glue is your friend.

 

winter here in CA is very fun, its also known as "Drift season" unfortunately, mortality rate is very high

 

yay drift season

 

I enjoy the fact that Im paying on a car that has no risk of being hit by some crazy *** driver in the snow, or getting stuck in the middle of my work parking lot. Oh no, it wont happen this year.

 

To park it or not? I guess it depends on your winter vehicle because life is too short to drive a beater. I like driving the 8 in the winter....lots of fun.

 

Use the Buick! Foreget the snow tires!

 

DAMN, this reminds me that I need to get a tune up for the Ford Explorer. My car doesn't "do" Winter.

 

Ha ha your funny Jedi.

It never rains or snows here in So. Cal.

 

yeah, till I went and put 6 coats of Zaino on in preperation for SevenStock.

 

All season tires are all you need. Snow tires are for pussies.

 

slicks stick better to ice imo.

 

I think Jedi should be driving on Zaino tires!

They'd be slick!

 

don't give me any ideas, I'll do it...

 

Man it's still so freaking hot...I think this thread could have came a bit later in the year.

 

Better watch out you might get flamed.

This thread is so HOT!

 

Lol

 

I'm eager for < 32 degree temps to try out the cai lol

I'm hoping for a little extra pep in the coming months
