In spite of ice and sleet mixture still on the sides of the roads, I managed a 40 mile ride yesterday. Sure felt weird riding with ice and sleet piled up along the sides of the roads. 54 degrees caused a lot of melting and water running across the roads in places. Not to great to enter a sharp curve kinda fast and find running water running crossing the road in the middle of the curve. However, the stock tires stuck great and I didnt have any problems. Felt good to get a ride in and traction control added to the confidence level.
