RE: Snow in the pass? I can't drive in slush!

["Oen, Shawn" <oens@nationalcar.com>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>I'm in Minnesota and have had Dunlop Graspic's on my car for the past 3
winters.  Last year I blew out one, so decided to purchase 2 Bridgestone
Blizzaks for the rear.  At the end of the winter the 3 month old blizzaks
were worthless and the Graspics on the front still looked like new with
almost full tread depth.  And this is the 3rd season on those tires!  

They grip like crazy also.  I am sure the Blizzaks are good tires but are
too soft for highway driving in the winter....they are better suited for
alaska unless you want to buy new tires every year that is...

The Scirocco BBQ trip sounds like a downright adventure, compared to my 
normal driving.  It snowed today about 2 inches.  I was not impressed with 
the Yokahama responce-GT tires in the show.  I can get to 75 in a rainstorm,

but hardly 40 on snow.  Old ladies in their Olds '88s were doing better that

me!  help!  I know how to drive in the snow, but the Scirocco won't go.  My 
last car was the same way with cheap-ass rubber.  Should I consider getting 
snow tire's for the front?  I am afraid with Michigan's moderate Winters
that 
the dry pavement would eat a pair of snow tires quickly.
