Default ! ! Winter warning for new owners ! !

If this is your first winter driving the S2k then please be carefull. It's not just the snow that you need to worry about but low temperatures as well. As the temperatures drop your factory tires will take longer to warm up. Cold tires will not have much traction and can "surprise" you.

If you plan to drive in snow, get a set of 4 winter tires.

I remember last year I was heading home from getting something to eat (this was almost winter, no snow yet) as soon as I got on the main road I VTEC'd it and as soon as it did that, my rear end kicked out pretty violently. Thankfully I was able to correct it without hitting anything. I believe that was do to the cold weather, so at that point I knew I had to garage the S.

Just becareful all! Cold sucks!!!

If at all possible get a winter beater and rest the S for spring, if not get some meaty snows...
