    This is true. I ran the BFG's for a few years when I was young and foolish. Recently tried the Toyo AT's which are allot better than the BFG's but still not great. Ice is where they falter.

    Since we can not use studs, I opted to replace my Blizzaks with Hakapallita SUV R2,s

    I have these on my truck for winter in Oregon and I have them siped. They work pretty good for going up Mt. Hood in the winter. They have a super soft sticky compound for sticking to the ice.

    Interesting tire sir.

    Back on topic: my information is that the No Frost Windshield Wrap will be in the $400 to $500 range which should easily pay for itself in a few years

    Just spray and leave WD-40 on your windshield. It'll cost you $3.99 from Wal-Mart and you won't have any frost on your windshield :D.

    i always heard slicks were the best tire for winter travel since they provided the largest possible contact patch.

    He was trolling the Honda Ridgeline forums as long ago as 2005 or 2006! A strange hobby, indeed.

    Yea, that's why I use them. I just do a couple of burnouts before I go out which warms them up, seems to melt the snow as I go down the road. :burnrubber::burnrubber::poking:

    Yes, you are correct; in 09 I purchased a Ridgeline which I immediately put on blocks and protected. The truck is in Brand New condition. Obviously I was correct in my actions as the car-like Ridgeline configuration has been didcontinued. My mint Ridgeline with under 2m will be worth, at minimum, triple what I paid in 5 years to a collector.:cool:

    I dont see any collectible value in the 2nd gen Tacoma so I drive her freely.
