Default tire question

is douglass m+s tire a winter/snow tire? my girlfriend almost got into her second accident with these tires (in the rain) and i dunno how she can get sideways that easily...she babies this car....doesnt have a lead foot or anything like that

to put it into perspective...she is the type of person who you would get pissed off at because she acclerates slow...hahah

i tried to get loose today just from romping the pedal and didnt break loose (yoko's avid h4s fyi)...so i know that a bone stock v6 shouldnt be breaking loose babying it....

this is the result of the first accient in febuary...

m+s is a mud and snow rating but those mean little anymore. Rain and rwd are pretty common causes of people smacking into fixed objects. If you want to keep her out of accidents, try stiffening up the suspension a tad and teaching her how to drive a rwd car. If it feels like it's going somewhere different that where you're pointing it, let go for a second and it'll straighten out, then you can redirect it to your desired course.

and get the fuzzy dice off the mirror... pretty please.
