“Good Tires, Bad Wipers, Great Stereo”
Todays weather started with light snow and progressed to heavy rain; when I headed north into New Hampshire to visit a supplier, I met freezing rain (and two cars spun off).
In todays rain I found that the Trico Innovision wipers (see here) are not much use at speed in heavy rain! Unlike the factory wipers, the Trico’s have a tendency to lift off the windshield at speed, significantly reducing visibility 😦
My old stock wipers will be re-fitted in the morning – I will just deal with ice on the frames like I used to.
Happily, the Pirelli PZero Nero tires (see here) performed very well in todays wet weather, with no hint of loss of traction.
They are not perfect in snow – I had to take a run up my road when it was snow covered recently – but I think they are a great all season compromise.
The other thing I enjoyed during the trip today was my Kenwood stereo & Keg (see here and here; being able to drive for hours while only ever hearing music that I like, with no need to change CDs, radio stations, etc, is excellent!
