I live in the snow belt in Ohio (7 years so far) and last winter we got a total of about 220 inches for the season.
That got me thinking. What is the proper way to do snow chains, Front wheel drive cars, Rear wheel drive cars, types of snow chains, one set or two?????
I know zero about chains, like nothing, zilch, zero.
The tires on the beater/commute car my wife and I have ('96 Toyota Tercel) were down near the second wear bar. They are all seasons, and according to some of you guys that was suicidal. My wife an I say it is less boring.
This year I'm considering going the other extreme for the fun of it. Studded tires and snowchains in the trunk of the Toyota ready to go? I can hear the studs now droning out the two 4 inch speakers (Got ear plugs).:eek: I think that I once heard a car pass me on the highway with studs maybe. RrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr as it went by. I plan on putting 16"AT Italia Rims & Blizzak tires on the 330ci with a set of chains in the trunk. Or try the Pilot Sports with a detailed report in December with photos of the crash scene.
P. S.
Would studs be good for an ICE autcross. Up in Madison, WI they have an Autox on a frozen lake. I always thought that would warm up the winter!
