Dan,

Not at all sure any extra traction would have helped in your mishap described above; on the off-chance it might have, here's a thought.

I notice the Cooper Cobra G/T tires on your car have a wear rating of 440. This indicates a sort of medium level of traction and longer wear.

You may want to consider replacing them with a 200 wear rating tire having noticeably more traction capability. There are quite a few available in different brands, sizes and tread patterns depending on your taste and intended use - e.g., some are better in the wet than others. Google is your friend and I suspect you'll have some time to research and decide.

Just sayin',

Tom
