Not much of a snow to speak of but it was enough that there were more than a few sections of polished hardpack up in the hills: not much to grip to in those spots. The Dunlops had enough grip to get me into n' back out of about 2 to 3" of roadside plowings n' they had enough control to keep me outa the scenery a couple'a times. Looseness to be sure, but I covered just over 200 miles with that polished hardpack on-n'-off, half of it through some pretty hilly terrain n' I was really happy with their performance. (I gotta be honest: I was really happy with the areas of the roads that'd been cleared too)
'Did have one incident: comin' through a valley fulla twisties, I was not pushin' it hard but I probably wasn't drivin' at a "reasonable" speed considerin' the weather conditions. 'Was just hangin' the tail out the least little bit, maybe a bit more in a few of the corners, n' I got this yay-hoo tryin' to impress me in his 4x4 doin' his all-over-the-road damndest to catch up with me, so I figured jus' let the bozo pass n' then go back to enjoyin' my trip. Bozo caught up to me n' turned on his red n' blue rack-lights. Thankfully the nice officer sternly lectured me on inappropriateness of the rush I was in n' let me go with a warning.
Personally, I think that he was jus' waitin' for me to stuff it into the roadside scenery, but the end result was a warning. I'll toast the good officer n' drink to that.
Be well.
