I just have to be a smarter driver, no funny stuff.
IMO, you cannot control a lot of things but equipment is one of the things that are quite in your control for the most part. Sure, it might be pricey but what is your body worth to you? If you only drive the car for groceries, sure but if you get stuck somewhere in the middle of BFE, well..... Saw a scantily clad girl who got stuck and lent her my phone to call for help. NO LESS THAN 2 HOURS wait for a tow truck and I'll bet a whole lot longer than that. Gave her a ride to the strip club which was where she was going and got a few free lap dances from her.

Ran those too but it didn't work as well as the Blizzaks for the 201. I could go up a slight hill and accelerate when there was a few inches on the ground.

I rather stay off the road if I can. No matter how smart you drive, there is always a moron there
