Los Angeles - closer to Shanghai =)

Well it's not even November yet, and we're already had a snow storm here in central-west NH. As I am driving a new '06 Saturn Ion Sedan, knowing my commute, I want excellent snow t…

Sorry, but ending up in the snowbank is a function of you driving faster than conditions allow. For you to blame your mechanic or your tires is just asking for it to happen again.…

Toyo Garit HT's. I've had them for 2 full winters in Toronto, and they are champs all around. Highly recommended.

I just got some of the WS-50s for my Mini after reading some of the tests over at TireRack. I haven't had a chance to try them out yet, no snow here yet.

Nokian Hakkapeliittas. As far as I know they are the best snow tire around.

i just got blizzax for my outback and they are great.

Snow tires are snow tires. Some might be better than others, others might compromise snow grip for treadwear, dry pavement performance, etc. Who knows. Buy whatever is cheapest,…

It's always a good idea to have a pair of chains handy.

I've always installed studded tires for the winter and stayed home during snowstorms. Of course the Seattle suburbs have real hills and even a few mountain passes. My job was nev…

tirerack.com has good reviews about different snow tires (and usually good prices) I put Dunlop Winter Sport M3's on during the fall months, and they work great when the snow hits…

i don't change tires; i drive smarter. never had a problem (front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, cars, trucks, etc). *knock on fake wood desk*

As Fyre4ce noted - Nokian Hakkapeliitta 4 if you're allowed studs in NH, otherwise the Hakkapeliitta without studs. People where I work use these because they don't have the option…

Well... here's how I see it. ANY snow tires is going to be way better than a normal tire. There might be a slight difference betweent them, but it's probably going to be neglig…

chains, problem solved, and they usually last many many years

If I had a 30" Apple Cinema Display, what would happen if I plugged it into a single-link DVI port? Would it use part of the available pixels on the display to render the graphics…

You'll be limited to 1280x800 pixels, scaled up to the full 30" display. But it'll work.

You could run it at 1920x1200 or 1600x1200 at 60Hz. Or you could get a video card with a duallink DVI port for your PC for a couple hundred dollars. I don't know if the image woul…
