Autoguide gives advice to those in the upper states during winter months.

yes, brz is my daily driver in alaska, lol. a lot of people seem to have an irrational fear of driving a rwd car in the winter. i haven't figured out why. change the tires, and you are fine. as long as your city has snow plows to remove the snow before its touching the bottom of the car, they run fine :)

works for me:)

Luckily we haven't been getting a ton of snow in my area the last few years. When we do I'll just pay my coworker with a diesel to pick me up and save on the snow tires lol. For now at least...

snow? what's that?

I have yet to get snow here in New York, these winter tires are going to waste.


I can't help the car from going sideways either, i wonder if they will last for next winter. :thumbup:


Good to know you can drive this car all year and not baby it like a bunch of guys in this forum are.

By the sounds of it I dont think so :burnrubber: Rotate them if you can visibly notice the wear.

yes I can...... but then again in South Africa there is a greater chance of tyres melting to the road than snow.

I have to agree with ziggz. I've been driving rear drive Camaros and MR2s in and around Chicago since '85. The only winter problems I've had have been parking on highly crowned side streets and when the snow gets so deep that the front air dam becomes a plow.
Just slow down, pay attention, accelerate smoothly.
Also, Chicago salts the roads so an occasional undercarriage wash doesn't hurt.

Same experience here, but in Michigan. And, given the weight balance of the Camaro's I had (soo front heavy), I actually think the twins will be better.

A staggering majority of my winter cars have been RWD.

I cry when I think about snow happening here in VA Beach. There is like one snowplow for the whole city. So if we get more than 6 inches, my front bumper is going to be the plow, and it's going to wreck it...

FWD cannot be used in winter. In the 1960's in Chicago you had to own either a Cadillac Eldorado or an Oldsmobile Toronado which were the only commonly available FWD cars at the time. Everyone kept these in their garages all summer and drove them in the winter. The Donner family down the street did not have either of these cars and were stranded in their home and were reduced to cannibalism to survive. We are fortunate to live in an age where there are so many FWD cars available.

Snow, what is that?
