Default 41k mile pirelli’s = stuck at home

I should have bought new tires can’t get out of my neighborhood in snow storm on my pirelli scorpions.
Scarey just slid from stop on hill with brake on and barely got turned around in 4wd. Guess I will be getting new hoops.
grrr, can’t get to work and not a salt truck in site. SE Ohio hills little different than IL flat lands I moved from. Guess time to decide Falken’s or ko2’s.

BFG's work for me and have over 20 years. I go out when weather is at its worst. Never been stuck.

This is a public road a few weeks ago. Steep and curvy. No problem.

When new those tires are pretty good in snow. ANY tire with less than 1/2 the remaining tread is less than adequate in snow.

Where do you guys live? Those tires are absolute garbage and downright dangerous in winter. I could not exceed 50MPH on the highway the other day in freezing temperatures. Never again.
