[Leica] Ferraris and Fire Hydrants

Howard,

I know what you mean about those wide tires. ;)  My first winter here in 
Iowa was a big eye opener.  I went straight to Tire Rack and ordered a pair 
of Blizzaks for my Mustang GT, made a huge difference.  Unfortunately I do 
not have any for the Z3 Coupe.  But with the nice weather right now, I just 
could not resist a drive today, especially with my up-hill drive cleared.

+1: my C6 Corvette Z06, whose tires are wide enough that the car seemed 
barely to leave tracks in the snow the one time I had to drive it home after 
an unpredicted snowfall while I was at the office! Floats like a butterfly.

In the dry, though, it's capable of truly scary feats of longitudinal and 
lateral acceleration. Stings like a Z.
