Re. Wide Vs Narrow Tires - I rest my case

Come up to southwestern CT on i95. The center lane is deeply rutted by truck and coach traffic. Wide-wheel heaven! :joy:

I don’t see the post numbers or total count, on my laptop or phone views.

I just bought a '21 Mustang Mach 1. It has 305/30/19 front tires… and 315/30/19 rears.

So I am rooting for 305+ posts! :grin:

I wasn’t even thinking about tread width, sadly… :rofl:

It didn’t happen without pictures!!! :laughing:

Would love to see some videos… :wink:

My post was number 256, your reply was post 261 and total as of this posting will be 265…
Post count is to the right of the thread…

Ahh, under my face. As typical!

Issues stemming back to the late '60s…

Appropriate for the category.

The count is in a little red box bottom right on my iPad. At least there is a little activity now.

Yeah Minnesota allowed studs for a couple years and the wear in the concrete road was severe.

I’m so old that the oldies station has stopped playing my music.

In the same boat!

The '90s - the Nineties? will NEVER be considered ā€œoldiesā€, not now and not thirty years from now.

Too late, they already are oldies to 40.somethings.

They don’t sound like oldies, and, they just came out last month, to me!

For me, the 1990s was the Malaise Era - fashion and music wise.

If ripped jeans define a decade, compared to what ID’d the previous four decades, then that’s not enough.

Still doing my part! How about you? We need some help here!

Doing my part to reach 300!

IMHO, Studded snow tires were great.

I have cousins still living in Central NY and the ones with RWD pickups still drive with them. If I lived there with any RWD vehicle I’d probably get them also.

I drove on studded tires in Sweden in the winter. They can pull nearly 0.8 Gs cornering on an icy surface. Makes traction like driving on wet asphalt with all season tires. Winter tires alone will pull nearly 0.5 Gs on glare ice. Better in a couple inches of snow.

We never use studded tires in Central Maryland. They are illegal except in the 5 westernmost counties and can only be mounted on the vehicle from November through March.

Just through weight in the back of the RWD truck or car and they do rather well on ice and snow… well not up north deeeep snow, but at least up to 6-9" of snow… lol

But I drove RWD’s on ice back in the 90’s when we had a lot of ice storms, without issues, just add weight, will travel…

And the 80’s was the best music and cloths… lol
