Yeah I'm crazy...need snow tires

[pbkid]

Maybe saying that means I need to turn in my man card, but until I find enormous amounts of free time, plentiful snow, and a large open parking lot (none of which occur naturally in my area) to practice, I figure it's better to be safe than sorry.

smart man... if you dont know how to do it... DONT...

its all about practicing with your car and knowing what it can and cant do

Ya hafta remember too that there are different kinds of snow.

hardpack isn't too bad

slushy isn't too bad

wet snow on cold ground is BAAAD

snow & ice together = stay home

very very very very true

and my tire worries are hoping they do not melt I am from PA and spent several years in VT as well. It was VT where I purchased the VX and can vouch for its abilities. I am in the newspaper biz and several times I had to go out and assist peope working for me delivering papers when we had 2 feet of snow overnight.

if you are looking at goodyears, id look into the fortera tripletred, they are severe ice/snow rated, you can get them in a 265/60/18 and can run them all year 'round

of course if you are getting winter only tires, step down in width too, maybe a 225 or 235.. that will help with snow traction by itself

Just for my edification how does going tp a thinner tire help traction

[etlsport]

for snow and mud, a thinner tire will help push through snow, either to the road or to snow that is less powdery, and easier to get a grip on, this doesnt work with excessive amounts of snow.. but if you can push through to road or compacted snow, youll be better off




in dry weather a wider tire will give you better traction
