I mean yea, sure, Im going to get them taken off tomorrow, and its prob gna "S" again...

but I cant see it being anything more then half a foot nothing regular tires cant handle esp with a rav4 (decent ride height)

I think I found the problem here. It's not the tires

Just got back form Sunday River Maine ski trip. Yesterday I was out and about on my on/off bike with knobies. Cold roads suck with knobies.

Phil saw his shadow and now we will have 6 more weeks of limbo weather. I want to be outside skiing or golfing. This really sucks.

I'll take 6 more weeks of the kind of weather we are having, 70F and sunny. Here in Texas as soon as winter is over we go straight to summer which is +100F, so I'm more than happy with 70, just wish we could get more rain.

What you are saying because its a rav4 ? lol

Hey I didnt pay for it Im not complaining Ill pretty much drive anything lol as long as I got a bike to back it up


And with the rising gas prices any MPG I can save is a good day lol.. I took the roof rack off and used to drive w/o the rear seats trying to save hahaa


and its not just a rav any car/suv with snow tires is going to handle different and get less MPG thats a fact
