So count me with river on this opinion. Also count me with river that your 'thanks dad' comment was unecessary and juvenile. | Bald tires will never get you anywhere in the snow or ice. But, You're trying to tell me that the car that is best know for being the BEST driving/handling system ever in the AUDI (I have owned 2, plus Many many other cars) is not going to drive as well as your accord? Let's put it this way. I have never seen a Honda accord, or even a a crx civic in a Snow rally race. EVER. In a heat of about 12-16 cars there is ALWAYS 2-3 audis. The only reason your Honda drove better than the audi, was you probably didn't have LP tires, but BALD tires. You might as well be driving on street slicks if you're going to be doing that.
