try to keep off the boost & you should be ok with winter tires and rims (stock 17")

If it snows park it and walk, you and your SRT-4 will be far safer that way. If you are like me and have to drive it, then get snow tires for it or at least a decent set of all season tires put on it during the winter months.

Mine with all seasons is fine. We just got 30" dumped on us, and we're getting 8 more tomorrow []. But my SRT handles perfect. If I'm on a road with ALOT of packed down snow, it'll crunch itself into the backtreads and If i try to take a corner to fast My back end will slide out on me only until I'm straight, but thats it. I need to drive it I have no other choice. And anything is better than those KDW-IIS....anything![sm=trust_me.gif]

I just ordered a set of Yokohama Avid H4S 195 65 15 with rims from tire rack. It doesent snow enough here to warrent snow tires. The 15 inch wheels are going to look funny, but not as funny as sitting in a ditch.

Thats true. Are those all seasons?? I wish there wasn't enough snow to warrant here. There was 3" of snow on the highway and still pounding down like goliath. My car was a little squirrely since i was pounding over 3" of snow at 40mph, but it was hardly anything on the highway...get to the side streets....omg better off walking!!!!! I'm gonna have over 40" of SNOWWWWWWWWWW [:@]

They are all seasons, but they have a good snow traction rating. We got 9 inches in Delaware, but my SRT is still in body shop from when the stereo was theived. I borrowed my parents expedition. I should get my tires by the end of the week and my car tomorrow, but I have been told tomorrow for days now. I miss it sooooo bad.

I know how the body shop thing goes. Mine was in for 3 months. I hope everything comes out okay for you in the end. I wish we only had 9 inches. 9 inches would feel like a dusting.
