04silvrz Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Fuck the snow. If it would snow for like a week or two, then go back to being warm again that would be ok. But a long, cold, snowy winter is not what I am looking forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 It looks like are only chances of early snow is if we get precipitation at night cause were still in high 40's low 50's during the day. I wanta board so bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 1st year with AWD, and I still have my previous RWD. I'm hoping for a LOT of snow! Just hold off until the 1st week of December. I'm going back to MA for a couple weeks around Thankgiving and there are some roads I want to hit with the summers still on. That reminds me.. Anyone know if the local SCCA clubs put on any snowcross events? Damn that would be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Are 235 wide tires too wide for snow? I'm looking to pick up a set of cheap snow wheels, and a set of snow specific tires for my Colorado. I'm thinking a set of 16x8" cheapy wheels with some 235/60/16 Hancook Icebear W300's. Thoughts? Also, what's a good amount of weight to put in the bed of my truck? I'm planning on loading up with sandbags and other necessities for this winter. It'll be my first winter in a RWD only vehicles, so I'm not sure how prepared to be. My first vehicle was a lifted 4wd truck, so I didn't really worry there. The past 4 winters I had a 2001 chevy cavalier which was unstoppable in the snow. But now, all I've got is my light-in-the-ass Colorado. Which I predict won't be very good in the snow. We'll see. But to answer the original post....I too, can't wait for some serious snow. I love this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Various people will argue the merit of doing this in Ohio's rather snowless winters most of the time, but I went skinnier. I run a 235/45/17 in Summer And 205/50/17 In Winter The skinnier the better is generally the rule, so long as the tire you select has the appropriate load rating for the vehicle its going on.

Dr. Apex Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 SCCA does not put on any winter events around here, but a few hours drive up in Michigan they do I believe. Austin, I wouldn't worry about width too much as we never get that much snow here and they're snow tires so you should be fine. I would do around 500lbs or so, my dad uses around that on his 2wd non-locking rear end Sierra and does fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
