When I lived in Portland (OR) it would sleet .... speaking of no traction
unless you had studded snows! I had a BMW 2002 at the time ('71) and had to
get to work one day. Actually slid sideways off the traveling road surface
after coming to a stop. The road was crowned just enough and the tires warm
enough that the traction/friction disappeared and gravity took over. Had
regular Conti's on it then. Sleet is the worst.
