I tried PMing you but inbox is full. Here's the response:
"Yes I do run dedicated snows in the winter. I have a set of narrow blizzaks mounted on some stock 15's. Now I just put on the UHPs right before I went to 4ngiefest and on my way back home, we got about 3 inches of snow. I've driven 2 winters on a set of Sumitumo HTR +(all season) prior to getting the snows and they did barely ok in the deeper snow (the reason I got snow tires.) Now in the little exposure the Generals had to snow they did VERY well. Better than the all season HTR+ in the same conditions. Now I don't know how much snow you guys get in KS but here, I just couldn't get away with just all season. If you do get moderate to heavy snowfall I wouldn't recommend them. If you get just a couple of inches and it melts away fast, then you should be ok with the Generals."
Thanks for the compliment! My Dad was a Chief Engineer in the Navy and for United Airlines, so we were always tinkering with things. I was always better at disassembly then at reassembly, therfore I learned to read alot on how to's. I've been a resteraunt cook so, I got used to writing down recipies, and I manage computer infrastructure architects and engineers so, I know what I expect from decent instructions.
We grew up fixing stuff, but I can't say I've had any formal training, just what life throws at you.
Stay well, if you come out to Cali, we can kick back on my old boat and enjoy the great weather...
