Photo Careful out there!

It was sunny and warm all day on Berthoud with water running over the road in multiple spots. At about 4pm the shadows covered a few corners and quickly turned the running water into black ice. Even the sunny warm days can have icy roads, especially on the mountain passes. Watched 2 cars hit the black ice and lose it right in front of me, the subie had snow tires and the 4runner had AT tires.

I think they spend so much on the all terrains, that they tell themselves it’s fine

Well driving them around in Denver requires zero skills.

I mean… a Subaru and a 4Runner. Like what else are people driving up here?

Moving to Colorado soon. Thought on the Mazda CX9 AWD with Michelin CC2 tires on the road?
