A whole lot of driving slow in bad weather / traffic. I did just get some new tires on Nokian eNTYREs they are LRR and the replacement for the i3's I was running. I am hoping they will be a good or better for winter traction, my first test was today, sleet and freezing rain on top of an inch of snow, they did very well but I kept is quite conservative I don't want to be back at a body shop again anytime soon.
