As in don't do it. Seriously. The stock KDW's are not only dangerous to drive in the snow at any pressure, they are illegal to drive in the snow, as they are a summer tire. After the accident you will have if you drive in the snow on KDW II's, your insurance company will be glad to tell you that you have no coverage since you were driving on summer tires in the snow when you crashed, so you are out 15,000$. $450.00 for a winter wheel/tire setup is worth its weight in gold. Think of it as a 14,550 savings now that you won't have to replace the car out of pocket when you crash.

 

Thanks posthondaremover thats what i figured but wasn't sure because i'm not with my car right now since i just got back from Iraq, I gotta go home and pick it up. Since now i know for sure that i need new snow tires can anyone suggest any good snow tires? Thanks guys and happy new years!

 

Depends - If you want some performance and don't want to be switching back and forth all winter, I would reccomend what I have - some v-rated blizzaks. If you aren't worried about performance and don't mind swapping all the time - tire rack or one of those companies ought to have a package that will fit the srt-4 pretty cheap in a 15" steel wheel and tire set for the winter.

Either way you will be much safer in case it snows. They should put a warning label onthe tires when the car is stock. I thought I would be fine, then one very lucky 650 foot powerslide(lucky I didn't nail anything) down the highway at 25 mph in a quarter inch of snow informed me differently.

 

i just play it as safe as possible and drive either my girlfriends civic (yeah poke fun all you want but they're good in the snow) or my cavalier. i dont wanna risk loosing my baby cause of sno
