Snow season is coming on fast. I have a 03 Jetta wagen and I want to put snow tires on. Question, it is front wheel drive, do I need snows on the front or all around.

I would put them all around. The back needs lateral grip for the corners as well as grip for breaking. Are you going to go with studs?

I just put 15" steelies and bridgestone blizzak snow tires on my '03 GTi. I agree, put them on all 4 wheels.

Snow tires all around is the best way to go.

i use dunlop graspic ds1's on my golf. they last a lot longer than the blizzacks. they are cheap too. you definetly want to get 4 otherwise you are not gonna like the way the abs acts in snow. studded is nice but if you can get hakkapalitas(nokian) you will really love them . as a side note, i live like 20 minutes from you
as far as move somewhere with no snow....beleive me i would love to, but i just bought a new honda tracked snowblower tonight....talk about cool |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Andy One of the few things I still like about winter! slip-sliding away! IMO people who get a lot of snow driving time are better drivers. Especially when it's time to get out of a sticky (or not so sticky) situation. |

Happens far too often over here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) David |

Especially when it's time to get out of a sticky (or not so sticky) situation. you are SO right about this. grew up in MI and lived there 25 years. moved to SF and the first thing I noticed, when it only rained I might add, is how terrible the drivers are! you would have thought they were driving in a white out blizzard. funny thing is, after living there for 5 years and then driving in snow again I was the same way initially. |
