yes, the government only throws salt on the bigger roads, the 2 small roads leading to the highway thus aren't ice-free
. Also when you're in a surprize-blizzard (of course not as extreme as in New York a few weeks ago), grounds can become quite slippery..
My tires? Front is a Dunlop PilotMax. And rear i put 3 weeks ago a Continental Road Attack i think. All in all the traction should be already way better than last year.
And yeah, i'll have to install heated grips soon, but i can't find them cheaper than 60Euro's. But which are the good brands?
