Oh, man, I don’t know where you live, but here (Western New York), the roads are an unqualified disaster. They want to blame the winter, but believe me, Buffalo has had a touch of winter over the years. With all the advancement in road technologies over the years, with all the sand they spread instead of plowing, with all the gas taxes, tolls and registration fees, the roads should be like driving on satin by now.
You can definitely tell when you cross into Canada from New York because the roads suddenly improve.
Awful here too. With that one exception.
Studded snow tires kill the roads here in the Northwest - I had a BMW when I moved out here and I could go hands free down the interstate for miles the grooves were so deep. When we get hard rains (rare) the hydroplane action is ridiculous.
With the improvements in siped softer rubber winter tires I am dumbfounded that they still allow the studded tires considering the damage to the roads.
