Deep snow travel with Blizzak DM-Z3's

[Lambeau]

Here's some pics from this morning driving around the woods in the snow. Man those DM-Z3's go through anything! These are 265/70/17's. Sorry some of the pictures are off center but as I decreased the pixel size to the limits set for this board it took pixels off just one side of the picture instead of evenly around the picture. The last picture is going back down the trail from where I just came from.

I used to have the pirelli's on my Chev truck and they didn't seem as good as these Blizzaks. But then again it's hard to compare as it's on different vehicles. You can go to tirerack.com and look at the tests though. All I know is these Blizzaks are unbelievable!!!

Yup, the Blizzaks rule! Sweet pics.
I am soooooooo jealous of the snow you guys got. We are having a really dry winter...

Damn thats a lot of snow!!!

[Lambeau]

This is just the start of the snow too. It's snowed everyday for the last 6 days now and I've already had enough for the year. I leave for Japan on Saturday for 5 days and when I get home I'll be shovelling for a while I'm sure. Maybe I'll just divert from Narita and go to Panama or somewhere warm until May.
