also.

in an emergency, if your vehicle has rope you can macgyver some snow chains.


useful tip if you're out and about and stuck.

That's why it's good to have friends in that industry, "I swear sir it just fell off the ship.."

wonder if tire chains will rip apart my fender :lawl:

lowered + chains not a good idea.


with cable chains you might be able to get away with it.



thule does make the k-summit series of show chains which are meant for cars with extremely low clearance:


Thule K-Summit Snow Chains K34 - Thule Tire Chains

pricey as fuck though. i guess if you wanna play you gotta pay :badpokerface:

sorry i meant cable chains. saw them at lordco

:fullofwin:

cable chains should clear.


kal-tire carries the scc brand of cable chains which are great for sedans/coupes and are very easy to install because you dont have to drive onto them.

Those are the ones i will be picking up, Because i literally couldn't move an inch, driving on would of been impossible. Makes me wonder if i should of bought a set of like altimax arctics or blizzaks instead of a stupid fucking "performance" snow. :suspicious:

when you're stuck you're stuck.


shovel + tire chains + tow truck in a box = FREEDOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM :fullofwin:

4x4 = NEVERSTUCKFREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOMMMMMMMMMMM

I need one :okay:

gonna keep a shovel, rock salt and kitty litter in the car.

apparently kitty litter help with traction.

...and it's nice and crunchy! :fullofwin:

4wd doesn't mean shit...lol

I got stuck on Saturday even with Blizzaks... good thing my friends were there (we went in 2 cars) and he had a snow shovel. His RDX also needed some shoveling even though he has Michelin X-Ice Latitude tires on his. Once we got out of the parking rows and onto the actual pathway it was fine.

Gh0st, AJ didn't even make it up lol.

ya he told me. LOLvo fail

same with me, once i got out of the parking row it was fine. damn lowered car

That was the problem i had, Getting out of the parking stall, Then i got stuck again when a stupid fucking group of snowboarders decided to play chicken with a 2800Lb car in 2 feet of snow... Literally had to swerve into 3+feet of powder, or decorate the front of my car with something with less brain cells than the plastic currently on it...

dared3vil, your performance winters are better in most cases, the altimax arctics make the car handle like a damn boat. Oh, and that rear tow hook spot, people have also used that as a jack point. It should be plenty strong to tow your car with, made for that purpose anyways.

I love performance winters for everything except days like saturday, That's when i wish i had true snowies.

are the tires mountain snow flake rated.?

Yup.
