[MR2] Winter Tyres

[waynearndt at waynearndt.com]

FWIW, my friend had terrible problems with his Proxes in snow, on his BMW
318. But you should expect that out of a summer performance tire. You
should just put that sweet ride indoors until the snow goes away. I had to
briefly move my MR2 out of the garage two days ago and she cried because
her Kumhos touched the snow!
