Re: Snow Travel?
just went up 79 on snow covered and icy spots. the only person doing 70=80 mph consistently aside from the state trooper behind me..
the stock tires are terrible i imagine, i have studded snows, which get me traction everywhere, but are like pillow soft on the highway..
lowering helped a bit too, i noticed when i was higher, if you could see the snow blowing across the highway, then the car you blow around with it.

I got around ok on the stock Kuhmo 14's that came on it, but I swapped to a set of 16x7's with Hankook iPike 205/50/R16 studded snow tires and I get around great.

Re: Snow Travel?
