Now that Snowpocalipse has descended upon half the nation, us Daily Drivers might want the collective wisdom of this group...
What is a good AllSeason Radial that fits under a narrow-bodied-no-flares 914? Can't do chains, and won't do studs. Just want some deep tread tires for the occasional 3-5 inches that happens in the Cascades and Sierra Nevada foothills. Or the gully-washer downpours that leave massive water on the roads, you gotta have some deep treads to prevent hydra-planing. Thoughts? (Not everybody parks for five months...this car was one of the best snow cars 40 years ago, just saying...) |

Go with a snow tire there is no substitute in ice and snow. I have 3 sets of snow tires for our cars, i even have them on my Jeep Grand Cherokee, our Lexus SC400 and LS400 wont get up our hill without them.
If your going to drive it in those conditions sacrifice the handling. |
