Subject:EV w/MXL in snow

The first snow of the season has happened in New England. We installed
Michelin MXLs last summber. conclusions:

a) These tires are MUCH better than the OEM Conti tires. Grip is very good
(2" of wet snow over ice) to the point where it was hard to "break away"
the drive wheels in 1st gear under power (autobox).
b) New England winters are  "vacuum enabled". If anyone has/knows of a job
for a middle aged peddler in TUCSON pls. advise :)
