For those of who you have never had the experience of driving 2WD light truck around in a Pennsylvania winter, let me just say that you are missing out on some excitement. Because when I say “drive” I mean that only in the most broad sense of the term. It’s more like “aim in a general direction and hope for the best” rather than “drive.”

So this year I have decided to buy some true snow tires and see if that helps. I ended up ordering four Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50s (photo) from Tire Rack on Monday, and they arrived today. Now I need to stop by NTB and pick up some cheap 215/65-15 black steel wheels and get them mounted.

With snow tires and a snow blower at the ready, I’m sure there will be barely a flurry for the rest of winter. You can thank me later.
