Well, We got about 20cm of snow last night and the temperature this morning was -5c when I left for work.
Luckily, last Wednesday I went ahead and put my 245/65/15 Blizzaks on. I must say, anyone who drives a Sport Trac in this type of climate, this is one of the best investments you could make. I was driving like it was a hot day in July. I just wish I had a little more faith in my Bull Bar because I would have liked to use it to push some little cars off the road.

The one drawback is the stopping distance. You can stop so good on sheer ice that some moron may rear end you. That is my only complaint.

My bull bar is solid, I hit trees and rocks with it almost weekly. A few dents in the stainless but it holds up well.
