An upside car would catch a lot of attention
It gets the point across and is memorable.
Win.baffling to me how the mere suggestion of climate appropriate tires enrages most drivers, it’s like you’re attacking their ability to drive or something. like dude i get it, you don’t need winter tires, but the endless entertainment they offer while you walk away from all-season-heroes on traction limited surfaces going up a hill, or being able to brake in time for an emergency, or drive a faster & more appropriate speed while the masses have their hazards on going 5mph white-knuckling their way through, TOO FUN!
honestly i’m glad many don’t bother, makes having a properly equipped vehicle all the more fun. i think many don’t bother because so many npc vehicles have awd/4wd these days. too bad braking is all in the tire…
I had winter tires on my 98 eclipse convertible. It was hilarious when like 3 years ago we goat a boatload of snow and our big gravel work parking lot wasn’t plowed. That little thing just crawled through like a foot of snow, while all the bros in their Jeep and trucks with all seasons were struggling to get out of their parking spots.
I will say it was not ideal having a convertible as a winter beater though…
Or you know, some of us live where it might snow once a year
Winter tires are typically better below about 45F/7C, regardless of conditions and certainly not just snow. Summer tires are superior in warmer temperatures, naturally. Breaking performance and handling are improved, both related to safety and not just “enthusiast performance.”
It’s been suggested to me that it’s a “wash” in cost to slightly cheaper to run both winter and summer tires at appropriate times in the years for climates that have the temperature variability; particularly if you manage to get a set of tires already mounted on compatible wheels on like Craigslist or something.
I’ll take the improved safety and performance any time.
doesn’t need to snow a lot to justify running winter tires if temps are at or below freezing for months. all-season & summer tire rubber is too stiff in the cold. but sure, if you live in a warmer climate i wouldn’t run them either.
Summer tires year round gang😎

Everyone looks at a car being upside down, this is brilliant.
I feel like that’s something I would see happen here in philly.
Still not better than the billboard I saw when I left LA in 1996.
Plastic surgeon advertising with the slogan “We make mountains out of molehills”
“Hello. How winter tires”?
yeah exactly, why is nobody addressing this, um question? like it’s a funny idea but really poor execution
Clever. I like the way they think.
That car was at moncton Chrysler dodge here in Moncton New Brunswick was it not?
Nah its at a used car dealership/mechanic shop in Truro Nova Scotia
When I was in high school 90s. They used to put a car wreck from drunk driving in front of the school. Made you think twice that’s for sure
