jsut wanted to post this b/c my 240 was absolutly horrendous in the snow. wll maryland go hit with a nice storm this weekend and my 96 coupe w/ b18c5 is a beast in the snow. LSD helps alot. plus FWD drifting is always possible in the snow hahah.

 

they are pretty good in the snow when you put good tires on them

 

heh... i took mine with azenis out in the snow last night just for the hell of it. needless to say i didn't get more than 50 feet without almost hitting a telephone pole . i backed up, parked it and walked.

cliffnotes: azenis + snow =

 

empty parkinglots + E-brake + snow = fun

 

thats why I'm waiting to put my azenis on in the spring man

 

my car with 17" BFGoodrich was awesome last year

hopefully the same this year

did the same thing last winter. **** that ****. those things slide around like a finger in a wet ****** *****.

 

hahah yeah they do. i was trying to get to this big parking lot about a mile away. man that would have been fun as hell if i would have got there. but i would probably have died or totaled my car on the way.

i need some good cheap winter tires. any recommendations?

hahah interesting way to put it haha. my civic was awesome in the snow, but not till i spent like 240 bucks on blizzaks

 

my bf goodridge on stock 14in steelies o great

 

good to know

 

uhh blizzaks ? I don't know how much they cost but i've heard from alot of ppl that they're GREAT winter tires. But from an all season w/ great winter traction, try out the Firestone firehawk indy 500's...they're like 52 bucks a tire ( in 15" ).

i actually made it to a parking lot once. bout 2 inches of fresh snow. about an hour of fun and then my car got stuck and i counldnt get it out. lucky for me my friend had his car there too. come back the next morning and the plows plowed around my car. 2 foot snow piles surrounding my car. great day.

 

YEAH IM IN VA AND CANT WAIT TO HIT SOME OF THAT WHITE POWDER

 

i have a civic gsr with kumho ecstas...and man do they suck. i had azenis before i had these and those were worse.
i had to stay WAY behind the car in front of me so that i kept movin somewhat. if i stopped, i would have just been stuck there. which did happen a few times.

 

**** last year we had an ice storm over here and my hatch went about 1/2 mile down the road then i started sliting every where!!!

i mean the LSD is good for acceration but braking with big GSR rotors and NSX calipers!!!!!

me and two of my friends got some rope and pulled my car back home, we looked like raindeers pulling a sledge!!1

 

FWD does own the snow. My Altima did good. My 240 was okay. I just had ot drive extremely slow. My civic sucks *** in the snow. I need to get some snow tires becuse the tires i got now.....I am like someoen else I drive waaaaaay behind people so I dotn have to stop. Alot of times I have someoen follow me home just in case I get stuck, they can push me to get momentum

 

yah i got kuhho ecstas, 711, and they are kinda bad...

i was going down a 2 lane road in the left lane, everyone was in the right lane so i was like wtf and i switched to the left... my spot in the other lane quickly closed and i realized why everyone was in the right lane... ahead of me was a BIG BOLDER of ICE that some plow man decided he was done plowing just stopped turned around and went home... wtf... so i saw that and paniced hit the brakes and started to spin to the right, i was sliding perpendicular to a car in the right lane... then right before i thought that car was gonna hit me i slid into a pile of snow on the sholder of the road and got stuck, took me 10 mins of forward/reverse method to get outta there... wit a lowered car, and crap tires no fun!!

I had no problem with yokohama avids last winter when we got record snowfall in NC. I sold the wheels that they were on. Gonna get another set for my stock steelies.

 

I had Nitto NT450's on my Jetta (RIP) last winter, they did pretty well for me.

i took my shittos to the snow so i could go boarding last year almost hit a ******* tree and went into a ditch and cracked my bumper corner light and scratched my rota slipstreams thank god i had the rota's on, will learned my lesson and i'm gonna buy snow tires for this year.

 

anyone else got some recommendations for snow tires?
i need something cheap as hell 185-60-14. it doesnt have to be a great tire, just something that can handle some snow and keep me away from telephone poles. something that does ok in dry / wet weather would be great too, but again, i dont really care.
this snow tire crap feels like a waste of money to me - i just bought tires damnit and now i have to buy crappy ones for gay weather.... gay.

 

Yes they are, go right though the snow unlike my old 5.0 thunderbird, all that thing wanted to do was donuts! haha

 

The original Firestones that came on the car were terrible in the snow.

I got Blizzaks. They are a great snow tire. They are not exactly cheap though. I think I paid about $85 a tire
