A practical Winter Tire Question

JerWA · 10-08-2010, 02:04 PM

Old 4x4 trucks mostly. They are relatively cheap and I won't care when/if someone crashes into it. The problem is that road maint here is up to the city, most cities have almost no equipment to deal with snow.

If it's as bad as they say, like it was in 2007 or worse, we will probably have 6"+ on the ground a few times. It was deep enough that my Mustang high centered on the rear diff and I had to dig it out... and that was in my driveway. Cost me 2 weeks of work over all, which is about what a beater would have cost me. If it's supposed to be even worse this year, I can buy a beater, drive it on the worst days, then sell it in the spring lol.
