Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Not even close. Pretty much any winter specific tire is going to work better on snow or ice than a summer tire. Summer tires, which as you said don't have a compound meant for cold, also don't have the siping and tread block design that creates traction on ice (without studs). I have a pretty decent set of high performance summer tires (hankook v12 evo), and they have zero grip in the winter- dry, snow, ice, whatever. Makes my Subaru completely undriveable. I jabbed on the brakes when it was around freezing on dry pavement and they just locked up immediately. I also tried driving up a slight incline in the snow to get off the street for plows and barely made it. In contrast, the set of used low end snow tires I have will go pretty much anywhere.

A decent modern all-season tire on the other hand is a decent compromise and will work mostly fine on snow and ice. Probably better than snow tires from 10-15 years ago.

Anyhow, here's a gif

I pasted it blindly into a chat with my co-workers and I didn't realize anything was wrong until someone chimed in saying "Yeah, I'm not clicking that..."

"Bernard, float over here so I can punch you."


As a Canadian person from Canada, there certainly are people here who don't use winter tires ("All-seasons are good enough!" :downs: ), however they are always the people that need help digging out their car when it dumps 8 inches of snow overnight, and who have that occasion once every 2 years where they drive a loaner because they destroyed their bumper/door/axle from sliding into poo poo.

The camera is on the top of the rider's helmet, the golf runs a red light and hits the rider. Looks like he does a full spin coming off the bike but lands upright. I think, lucky guy in any case.

Haha, I didn't get it the first time. When I scrolled down, the image came into view a little at a time, and all I saw were hands moving. I left the page and came back right at beginning of the gif, and BAM.

Wow, that is pretty great. I wonder how much time went into it, and what it cost. The production values are outstanding, and eighteen minutes is a long run time. Not to mention, there's a part one.
