Re: Car won't stop on snow/winter tires?
 

wait, there's still another point needing asked:
did someone else drive the car and felt same issues?

also, the ABS getting into the equation could make this tricky. if ONE wheel starts loosing grip, ABS will reduce the pressure on the other wheels. If one wheel have any kind of issues unseen, this really could happen. (I know this, in autoX, I use left foot braking in corners, but if the rear wheel lifts, the AB S kicks in, pulsating the pedal because the wheel in the air will lock)

Again, the a**hole with 31 years of experience driving in snow knows so much less than some kid who is barely out of diapers. Pumping the brakes with ABS will not help. That's why they invented ABS. So your brakes don't lock up. It pumps the brakes for you.
Again, you keep going back to my mamma's car works, my brothers car works, it's just my car :cry:
Again, different cars, different tires, different braking systems. Because you choose not to read what you are being told doesn't make it wrong.

You have yet to tell us what tires you have and what their tread depth is.
You claim to not know much about cars and that you are probably describing it wrong. So we are given bad information, try to help you with that as best as we can, and we are a**holes and bashing on you.

When you act like a baby, and refuse to listen and place blame on everything and everyone else, you are bound to get bashed. But we bow your automotive brilliance :_bow: You obviously have proved you are an expert in driving in snow. I can no longer question that. You have proven that you car is special and the tires speed up when you brake, but only in the snow. You are master of your vehicle and understand all aspects of driving in the snow. :giggle:

In your first post you state "Now, someone suggested I get winter tires. Blizzack Winter Tires to be exact.....cost over $100 a piece. Does any one else have problems on the snow like my car?

More importantly, does any one have experience or suggestions about winter tires?"

You were provided that advice yet called the poster an A**hole. I bet you were popular in the sandbox.

So again, the "A**hole" asks "What tires are you running and what is the tread depth?"

But since you are the master I will leave you to your world. I hope you get the answers you seek before you rear end someone else and put them into the hospital. :russian:

The tires are Primewell PS 830 185/65 r15.

Re: Car won't stop on snow/winter tires?
 

That's probably 80% of your issue. Definitely not a good tread for winter driving. If you don't want to get snow tires, take those to a tire shop and ask to have them siped. That will make a big difference on how they handle in the cold.

Here is a video explaining the process.

Re: Car won't stop on snow/winter tires?
 

primewell what the hell is that a chinese tire ive never heard of that brand before. i googled primewell and turns out there chinese made for firestone so i guess the mystery of the haunted tires have been foiled back to the mystery machine.

Re: Car won't stop on snow/winter tires?
 

I just read they are Chinese import made for Firestone. Not impressed.

Great quote I heard years and years ago and still hear it these days.

"You can't teach common sense and you can't fix stupid."

I'm just throwing it out there.

Re: Car won't stop on snow/winter tires?
 

i heard you can give a man a fish but if you can teach a man to shop at walmart you get a pretty good discount on tires.

I have a small collection....

"I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you."

"Only as a person’s knowledge base increases do they grasp the concept of their own ignorance. Limited vision obstructs the view of the horizon."

"None are so blind as those that won't see... and those that have their ass cheeks in their eyeballs."

"What good does education do a person, if they do not have
the common sense to apply what they know to a problem?"

"You can't memorize understanding and comprehension."

“ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.”

"The less you know, the more you think you do"

"Life's tough, it's tougher if you're stupid."


Gotta go, I hear the short bus honking.
