I have Toyo Observe G-02 Plus winter tires on my Civic, and I have had no
problems plowing through the snow this winter. About a month or so ago I
was driving home from work in a snow storm, and I saw an SUV that had
skidded off the road and onto a nearby railway track.

Too bad that this railway track sees almost no traffic. Could have meant
one less SUV to worry about. :-)
