driving in the snow with R compund tires sucks. it will go downhill quite well, and thats about it. winter tires are a must, but we avoided driving it in the snow at all costs.

 

I have 15" steelies, and all season tires. Starting off in second when its really bad, and having a boost controller to turn it way down, help immensely.

I live in the great northeast. We get as much snowfall as you guys do, and my car has seen two winters, and he's still running strong, trucks through it like its nothing.

 

awesome thanks i just dont wanna get something that wouldnt be able to handle the weather down here. that would be pointless....eh

 

all season tires aren't going to cut it in the snow, a dedicated set of snow tires is really your best bet if this is your daily driver. i solved the problem by getting a TJ

burnnout - staged ecu's do the same thing as long as they are controlling boost.

 

SRT-4 w/stock tires + snow = russian roulette! Snow tires are a must for winter unless you like complete uncontrollability akin to trying to rollerblade on oil covered ice.

 

LOL, I guess it all depends on who you ask Osmosis. The people in the colder snowier climates say you gotta have snow tires. Here in Virginia I got around on Stock tires though I didn't particularly feel good about it. You don't see Snow tires here in Virginia except on pickup trucks and nobody in Virginia has needed snow tires since the Blizzards of 1996.
Then you needed snow tires, chains and probably a dump truck with a plow and spreader.

Good luck with your choice.

 

^if there is ANY kind of snow on the ground youll be in serious trouble with stock tires!

btw, LILSPARK, you had no problem with the 15" rims? what size did you run on the 15s???
