New Mexico Questions

I'm still fairly new to this area (mountains above Albuquerque) and there are a couple of areas where local knowledge would be useful.

- What are thoughts on getting winter tires? Snow is very hit or miss and they keep the roads pretty clear. Still, it does get cold and summer performance tires are not always going to be happy.

- How useful are radar detectors here? Was about to invest in a V1 to keep out of trouble but many areas in the country have transitioned over to laser. What about ours?

Best,
Spook

I use to live in Santa Fe out of my 3 years there only recieved 1 ticket. Just becareful of the tribal police, they scalp you if you get pulled over . I would invest in detector, you got your self a fast car and anything helps in keeping your tickets down. You'll have fun driving it in New Mexico, plenty of roads to open her up on. Two words of warning dont race the roadrunners and dont get leather gronola girls hate that.

there are red light cameras scattered all around abq so watch those, and snow tires would be a nice investment, youll slide off the road in the winter, the mountains tend to freeze at night
