haha... he's back yet again!!!
WOW, the stupidity never stops!
Actually, wait... DON'T REPLACE YOUR TIRES. Let Darwin's theory prove itself.

Wear the tires down sooo far that the steel belts are coming through... Just like Studs! Severe needs to keep those tires on longer!

ALTHOUGH, my windshield washer fluid did freeze solid. That was pretty uncool. I'm going to go ahead and blame the delivery technician who probably figured out (wrongly) that I'd go through a tank between July and January, and filled the reservoir with water.

I use the rain-x with de-icer and it works very well. If there's a little ice left on your windshield it'll get rid of that too and keep your visibility at a max in extreme weather. I've still never heard of someone's washer tank freezing though.

What kind of Dunlops and when kind of Bridgestones. I quit running the Bridgestone Blizzaks and went to the Nokian Hakkas. But got the Michelin X-Ice Xi2 on the new Fit. Never have found a decent Dunlop yet. They came on the Fit, but are lousy in the snow. Figure I'll wear them out this coming summer.

I've had the dunlop direzza's and also the dunlop SP sport A2 on previous cars and they handled extremly well for summer/all season tires. In winter here in VT, i've only ever run snow tires after the first winter on the All-Seasons. It makes a Huge Difference.
In Severe's case; there's more than just problems with tires...

I dunno if you are being serious or not but that's crazy if that happened. I've found that most "all season" windshield washer fluid does freeze on contact with my windshield in very cold weather which is very dangerous since I often use my wipers/fluid on entering a highway for max visibility.

Subie, most of the washer fluid sold in CA is blue tinted water. If you check the label it freezes at +32F. This is because of limits on VOC's for smog. Alcohol apparently is considered an air pollutant in this regard, at least in the South Coast Air Basin. Granted, if you stay near sea level, it wont freeze, but it has been getting into the 30's at night down in Los Angeles. I have to look carefully to find the de-icer fluid for use up here in the mountains.

I am being serious, and I mean not that it froze on the windshield but that it froze in the lines, ie nothing came out (and no, the squirters were not simply blocked). realistically the only explanation is that it was regular water instead of fluid, which should remain liquid down to -15 or something like that.
