So over night and all day, we have accumulated about 8-9 inches of snow in Lexington, KY.
My street is at a small but steady and long incline (difficult to judge exactly, but maybe 10-15 degrees incline).
This morning with 2 Pirelli sottozeros in the back and 2 Hankook ice pikes in the front, I head out. Could not go up the street (DSC off). Even tried my trick of going all the way down the street (cul-de-sac) and onto a neighbor's driveway which is flat, in order to get a head-start. I could barely make it back to my garage.
So it was still snowing and I was bored at home. Switched the ice pikes to the back and sottozeros to the front.
Night and day difference, I didn't have to do the neighbor's driveway trick, I went up the street without issues.
Then, well, things got hairy. I could go no further once at top, the car was bottoming out and the ruts were too deep and every which way.
The Hankooks won that challenge for sure. My car is just too low at this point.
