Yikes! The super-gooey Blizzaks I had when in Mpls lasted me 2 winters, and there was still over 50% tread left.

I've noticed that about you New Yorkers. The throttle is an on/off switch. Even if you only need to move a few feet. Foot to the floor, and then planted deeply back into the brake pedal to keep from running into the car in front of you. Car ends up rocking back and forth wildly as the suspension tries to regain its composure.
