Narrow, tall snows are what you want. I ran 185/65/14's blizzaks for a while, and they were great. The 205/55/15 pirelli P210 snows were just too wide to actually dig into the snow...but they handled well on dry pavement.
Any of the major snow tire brands are great. Blizzaks, Dunlop Graspics, Pirelli P210s, etc. They'll last several seasons, and will make the difference between getting home at night and freezing to death by the side of the road. :) Some of the smaller brands of tires have copies of the more expensive tires that work just as well. I had a graspic copy on my Audi 4000CS Quattro and they were just plain spectacular. At 10:39 PM 8/17/01 -0400, Steven Arguello wrote: > I think taking off the spoiler is a good idea.
