I don't know Matt, The pictures clearly show that one Donkey was securely restrained behind a fence, and the other was well away from the road. Clearly no chance either woodz jumpz outz in frontz of ya... They are clearly in the direct line of sight to the incident sites. Your car goes where your eyes go, so as a driving instructor, I would suggest looking away from the donkeys. :lol:

That first picture is across the street from where I live. I'm glad it's not snow donkey season yet, all are still hibernating.

Ok so what would you consider a winter tire, I have these Falken 205/55/16s on there only 2500 miles on them so far.

Kevin M 2005-11-08 08:21 PM

Falken what?

MattR 2005-11-08 09:10 PM

As far as I know, there is no decent all season or winter tire from Falken. But, my subaru is never going in the snow again.

ArthurS 2005-11-09 12:25 AM

Damn this thread is old

Kevin M 2005-11-09 02:20 AM

FK451s (I think) are getting good reviews as a 3 season tire. If not the FK451 then one with a name very very close to that.

khail19 2005-11-09 07:39 AM

FK451 is more of a summer tire. The Ziex ZE512 is Falken's all season offering. Consumer Reports rated it as the top all season performance tire a while back.

No, it is rejoicing, as it won't have to get bounced off curbs and overheated with it's grill packed full if snow anymore...hehe.

And this is how it starts. The pick em up truck oners forget to read das fine print on their physics exemption.

Paragraph 3 clearly states
Quote:

Paragraph 3: Section 1. Part A: This exemption is for the mass of the vehicle and a reasonable operator and occupannts only. Any excess swelling of the cranium, ego, or other bodily parts, may have excess mass not accounted for in this exemption. Depending on the location of this additional mass, physics may well act on this mass having unintended concequences up to and including the vehicle carening off the road where it may encounter other objects of mass, or the lack there of(Open space) depending on circumstances resulting in the possible distruction of the vehcle and/or the occupants.

You mean 512? That's the one I meant before, not the 451s. They're decent 3 season tires, but I don't know how they'll be on ice.

Ezdno 2005-11-09 08:25 PM

no the tires actually say ZE 502, I found them on the Falken Website, They were listed as all season, and the ZE 512 were all season performance

Paragraph 3 clearly states

Of course this also allows for that given mass, if large enough, to simply flatten any damn snowdonkey in its path.
