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...) |

I used to drive through blizzards with my 914 when there were few others on the road. I could climb slippery slopes while dodging those that could not. My vote for a winter tire is the Blizzak. I found them astounding. I have not tried the Hakkapaliitta, but may consider them if I can find some next time. On the way to work yesterday it was very slick in places; saw one vehicle with rubber in the air.
