Mainz to stuttgart would have sucked if it was closed when I was over there.

 

I have driven through alot of country. when I was in Norway I had to have winter tires. Some liked the Michelins some liked Nokian. I didn't care for the studed type, I still don't. Here in the states I have never really been in an area where they are required.

 

I aint seen snow in more than 6 years and I only saw it then becuase I lived in arkansas then not here in south texas were up untill around last week its been in the mid 80's.
