Good point Clockwork.

Saw TONS of Texas tv news coverage of all the Camaros, MBs, Mustangs, BMW, Vettes unable to climb SLIGHT grades due to "summer only" tires on ice/snow.

Saw a few pick-ups and SUVs spin off the hwys/into guardrails at around 30mph too, seems they all had HUGE aftermarket wheels (usually chromed) and Crappy, off brand, WIDE, "summer" tires.

These are people who could afford winter tires, but want to make a "look at me" statement with wheels.

Stupid losers IMHO!
