Well that really sucks. With that on the ground, I'd stick with the GMC or the Buick!

Yep you just got to wait a few days and before you know it it'll hit 90° or whatever that translates to in Celsius 8) the other option is buy yourself a dirt bike that does have knobbies only be careful cuz I did that after a snowstorm in February and landed squarely on my back! The neighbors are like "do you want us to call someone?"

Went through the Rockies between Durango and Grand Junction CO on Memorial Day... 26 degF,lots of snow, sheer drop-offs and snow plows... BUT... thankfully I wasn't on the bike! Apparently Colorado has a law you must have chains available between Sept 1 - May 31... who knew! BTW it was 94 at home (TN) that day.

That's the same here in Italy, except for the starting date: it goes from Nov 1st.
