Tires are important

There was a big blizzard here that left tons of snow and tons of ice under that. I didn't even make it home from work Thursday night. Got my car on Friday, parked it in my driveway, and haven't been able to move since. I knew my problem is that my Nexens (summer tires) are on the front and the Sumitomos (all season) are on the rear. Since I won't have access to the Honda Pilot tomorrow, I had no choice but to rotate them. Backed right out of my driveway and up the icy street. It's fantastic. ![Big Grin](https://volvoforums.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Oh yeah, while I had the wheel off I noticed the brake rotor bolt was loose. Put a wrench on it and just as it starts to BARELY snug, SNAP. Broke right off. I was so pissed. At least I know it isn't tight. Me and bolts will never get along.
