This is about where the weather idiots said it would end....10 inches later I am creeping home at 30 MPH on the highway...Thanks to the PSM it was smooth crusing. Even walked up my driveway with little effort. All that and on 315s! Oh and BTW check out the new tail

Nice! Make sure your future FS as doesn't say, "Never seen rain or snow" like they all do.

How does that TechArt plow work for you? Do you do some commercial plowing for extra cash?

Stephen, What size are the Pilots (F&R)? Did they go one without modifying the wheel wells or rolling the fenders? Do they rub anywhere?

I am running GTII rubber size. I have had as much as 245s on the front and still was using a 5 mm spacer! That was on the PZeros. The rear are 315s. No rolling anywhere nor rubbing.

Frozen lemonade...LMAO...Now THAT is funny. That thing could plow a cow off the road!! I cringe when I hit intersections. You can hear the nose pushing snow away. Intresting enough it is holding up very well. My garage is heated so it melts before the days next runs. I was amost high centered coming down my driveway. If I had good winter tires on this thing I bet it would really do well.
