How is this even possible? Like, seriously. No way that Cybertruck has high enough miles that it has bald tires, so how is it stuck in that spot?

    Never gotten stuck that way, and I’m from Chicago. Have you? That sucks.

    I figured the guy was making excuses for his shit-ass truck. Had that unpleasant odor to it.

      Me neither, but I’ve lived in winters like this my entire life, and swap out my summer tires for winter tires when it’s time.

        Ya know, I’ve never done winter tires? Old habits die hard, I guess. Too poor to afford them young, then realized I could get by without them once I could afford them. Whatever stock all-season they shipped the Toyota Tacoma 3rd Gen with is just fine for snow, even a couple feet deep.

        I realize that’s weird, though. Lots of states out west mandate them, for starters.

          I just have A/Ts on my old 4wd Sequoia, but we bought my wife’s car down south and it came with summer tires, which turn into rocks under 35 degrees, so I just bought a set of steelies and Blizzaks. It’s got AWD and unless we get more than half a foot of snow, that thing has zero problems.

          Being that this guy paid $100k for a meme, I wouldn’t expect him to know anything about traction or tire compounds.
