awwww bry, its ok...you're still alive and damn its sexy when boys whine and yell haha. jk glad ur not dead and the tC is ok....nice f-ing bold print!

Hard-Packed snow can be as slippery as ice. Once it gets packed down enough, and then it gets really cold, it freezes into, guess what, ICE.

But glad ur ok, just be more careful in the snow

I agree. My tC saw its first snow day today. And my car was basically an oversized sled. The tires are great, just completely useless in snow. I am looking into snow tires, and I am NOT happy about the amount I have to spend.

okay then its not the tires fault then..blame the snow

So if your sneakers have poor grip and you slip and fall down a flight of stairs (and hopefully get hurt real bad), you can go blame your mom for dropping you on your head when you were a baby, and you being the way you are?

sorry to hear bout your problem... but yeah it's the snow... i just switched from falkens to bridgestone potenzas... it's a more solid tire...

I'd never buy firestone/bridgestone. Get some studded tires just for winter. It's good for your life.

what the hells ur problem..i was saying that its not the tires fault...he hit hte brakes on snow..thats something the tires cant handle. no tire can. and no my mom didnt drop me on my head. hes the one puttin it out in all huge quotes and when i saw the topic i thought something was defective about bridgestones, which they arent. so i jsut replied its not the tires fault. quit being an @$$

no one is arguing that it wasnt the "snow". People are just saying that the potenzas performance in snow compared with other tires (including other performance) is very poor.

Again, I wasnt expecting good snow traction from performance tires to begin with, but these are actually poorer than anticpated.

uhhhhhhh "performance tires" dont always mean "snow tires" there...what rock u been hidin under. bridgestones are great tires. thats why they charge a premium for them. sorry they arent tractor tires in the snow like youd like them to be maybe youd like to buy some tractor tires for ur tC...see now thats a response like how u put? hows that sound? see dont be an @$$..

So if your sneakers have poor grip and you slip and fall down a flight of stairs (and hopefully get hurt real bad)

It means that your a fool for falling down and I should have video taped you! :lol: Lighten up there sparky. The tires in this situation are not to blame in this situation, Speed seems to have played a role in here. So you might want to lighten. :roll:

simple fix... buy some snow chains...

studded tires will greatly help lots!!!

Studed tires work great in the snow and should be already on your ride if you live in the snowy area already. You should know this already, I live in cali and I am ready for an earthquake, so you should be ready for the snow.

hahahahahaha this guys comedy

yes i totally agree stylis...studed tires or snow chains are absoultely the right way of doing things.

tractor tires are not needed on a tC, but do remember to keep things rated PG. So please no more rants in here, this topic may get to a personal level and thats not needed. Just post up the facts and info please.

gabe, so mild tempered

guys give it a rest i was venting because i hate the tires as a whole and last night topped it off, hell i spin and skid in rain its not just snow, can someone lock this so nobody gets indigestion from the Ethug arguing

It was 11 degrees outside the day you posted this in Maryland so I know it was at least 10 degrees colder than that in NY. You think tires are supposed to stop you in the snow under light braking? Youre an idiot.

Doesn't that make you the problem, not the tires?

Would you like Scion to also include a set of snow tires with every car? How about an extra set of rims? Maybe they could just keep them at the dealership and then you can just come by for your winter switch so you dont have to do anything yourself.

The RE92's are fine winter tires if you don't drive like an asshat.

BTW Jakies they are not summer tires.

That makes this thread even scarier... :(

namecalling is so mature, bet mommas proud... non of u were there so nobody can say anything... end of story

I drove once with Bridgestone S03 Pole Positions in the snow. I was stopped at an intersection that was on an incline. With my brakes on, I just slid backwards down the hill. If I used the gas, I'd spin, so I just had to let it idle me along. Needless to say, people were flicking me off.

I'd like to note that I never did that again.

This is obviously a case of the conditions, and not the tires.

I don't care what kind of tires you have, be it snow/studded tires, or topline of the line sticky race tires, if you over-drive the conditions that Mother Naure has created, then its no one's fault but your own.

You are the one in control of the vehicle if you are the one stepping on the gas pedal and turning the steering wheel.

With that said, I love the S-03s on my Matrix and the Neo Gens on my xB, but if I'm driving in conditions less than 32 degrees I'll be driving like an old person. Wait, I am an old person.

I'm not an expert, I just slept at a Holiday Inn last night.
