COLD weather is soon upon us again and it is time to think of how our tires will fare this winter. If you have performance tires on your vehicle, then icy roads and snow will present difficulties. These tires are designed for handling on dry pavement and the ability to provide fair traction on wet roads. All season tires are found on many vehicles as original equipment. These tires do provide traction on ice and snow if driven carefully, but these tires would be better named "three-season" tires. They work well in spring, summer and fall, but don't provide the ultimate traction and handling that a performance tire will on dry pavement nor the traction of winter specific tires on snow. While more than 2 mm of tread will work well on good road surfaces, mud or snow traction requires a dee...

All-wheel drive is another fantastic handling feature for both dry and slippery road surfaces. Note I didn't say four-wheel drive. Four-wheel-drive systems lock the front and rear axles together, which is great for traction in a straight line but makes tires slip when cornering. A four-wheel-drive vehicle will have less traction when turning a slippery corner than a two-wheel-drive vehicle. Some four-wheel-drive vehicles have "automatic" mode, which drives all four wheels when traction is low and only drives two wheels during cruise or deceleration. This system is better than non-automatic systems but still far inferior to full-time all wheel drive systems. All-season tires are a compromise. They work well for three seasons but winter tires, especially those designed to work on ice, pr...
Although Goodyear's name is on the sidewalls of the Nordics, you won't find these at Fountain Tire. It's Canadian Tire alone that sells these doughnuts. That such stellar deep-snow performers are also a bargain is what makes the story here: the P205/60 R16 tires fitted to my Mazda6 wagon list at $110 per tire. For comparison, Canadian Tire lists the Michelin X-Ice of the same size for $167.49. That works out to a savings of more than $200 for a set of four tires, which for many people is hard to ignore. That imprecise handling is normally attributed to the aforementioned lateral siping. The deep, narrow strips of tread that result are flexible and provide more edges or "blades" with which the tire grips the road. But while being flexible aids the tires' bite on a slippery surface, it do...
Whether your holiday plans include hosting a party in which you do all of the food preparation or a casual "potluck" style affair, good food safety practices can go a long way toward making the event a memorable one for all the right reasons. In the home, food safety concerns revolve around three main functions: food storage, food handling, and cooking. According to Robert Buchanan, Ph.D., senior science adviser and director of science in the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), many people overlook the importance of maintaining an appropriate refrigerator temperature. According to John Guzewich, CFSAN's director of emergency coordination and response, the kitchen sink drain, disposal, and connecting pipe are often overlooked, but they ...

Wine Cocktails boasts a good introductory section on wine, liquors and liqueurs and bar tools and glassware. It's a good first step for the novice bartender who wants to offer their guests something more thoughtful than just what comes straight out of the bottle. Focusing on one type of cocktail (like learning to become adept at say, cooking Italian food) allows you the opportunity to refine some skills and tastes which then give you the confidence to broaden your "libatious" horizons. But you (and your guests) would be well-served even if you decided wine drinks were your party specialty. Once you've got your cubes ready, your lemons and limes sliced and your shaker at hand, you can try these three cocktails from [Rathbun]'s guide. You can also find Rathbun (along with his blog Spiked ...

Remember the input switch on the steering wheel for mode selection? Well, if you choose Tarmac mode, the system maximizes cornering performance. This mode is best selected when traction conditions are good, such as dry pavement. The Gravel mode selection tells the S-AWC computer to maximize traction instead of cornering performance. Although called "Gravel" mode, it is also suitable for wet or cold roads where traction is limited. Finally there is the Snow mode. This mode maximizes vehicle stability for control on slippery surfaces. The nice part about the EVO systems is that all you have to do is select the mode to match the road surface and the computer controls all the systems to maximize driving fun and safety. Testing by Mitsubishi on a dry track and slippery ice surfaces demonstr...
