Ever since they switched to the checmical mix here in Ohio, we have been very busy at the shop replacing brake lines, trans cooler lines, fuel lines, fuel tanks, fuel fill tubes, you name it. Whatever they are using, it is VERY corrosive!!! I drive winter beaters so my good cars and trucks will live a long rust-free life.

As for winter traction...there is no substitute for good winter tires. I highly recommend Bridgestone Blizzaks (and always in a set of four!).
