Hey guys
I'm not sure if its just me not used to the rear drive car or if its the winter tires, but its seems very easy to break loose my rear tires is this normal. I can step on the gas harder in a turn and the rear tires will break loose, they don't squeal they just spin. So I was wondering if this happens with all winter tires or is there something wrong with mine or are the pirelli's just a crap winter tire. Also we don't even have any snow yet this is just on cold dry pavement.

Wow, lots of snow. We for some reason this year have not had any snow that stayed yet, its snowing today but its only +2 celcius so its all melting now. Normally we have lots of snow by now and its freezing, so I'm enjoying our weather while it lasts.
Mother nature is like a hot chick - we never now in what mood she is!
But I'm always prepared for anything, that experienced I am!

Last winter we (down in Helsinki) didn't have almost any snow for all winter...
I think something would have to be seriously wrong for there to be no snow where I'm from.
