Doesn't surprise me. I used to drive all around the US on business back in the 1980s. Decided one mid-September around 1986 or so to drive Wolf Creek Pass en route to another destination, just for the view.
Big mistake. Got caught in a blizzard. I was delivering a Mercedes to a dealership and normally those things handled beautifully in bad weather, but this one was slipping all over the place. I had to drive so slowly I was being passed by hippies in old VW buses, grandmothers in wheelchairs and kids on Big Wheels. Finally made it to the dealership. They told me someone had installed the wrong size tires, which explains the poor handling.
