Should I?
I'm about to go pick up my car from a dealer in Toronto on Friday ( that's when it comes in) and there is a 80% chance for 5~ cm snow... Should I postpone it (hate to) or just go for it? *first RWD & I'll be driving to Niagara Falls* :iono:
|
2 hour drive back home in a RWD and summer tire, i'd say postpone. Also imagine all the salt you gonna accumulate on the car thru that 2 hr drive.
|
My suggestion is either snow tires, or weight in the back. I recently had one on the ice at the sleeman center in guelph. I added 264lbs of dead weight (water softener salt bags), never lost traction on the ice or my 20minutes drive home in a snowstorm, but can get a little scary without the weight

Don't drive in the snow with the stock summer tires. They're not even all seasons. Have a set of winters installed before hitting the road.
|
With the summer tires, or even the all seasons, waiting might be a good idea if there's snow falling. This car is pretty lively in the white stuff. The nannies do a good job of keeping her straight, but without winter tires it could be dicey. If you plan on winter driving anyway, you're going to need some good winter skins. JMO.

I wouldn't recommend it. Even if it goes well you won't enjoy it. Wait a few days and drive on good roads. Traction with the stock tires is very, very poor on snow. What is a couple more days now?
|
DO NOT DO IT! You definitely don't want your an accident on your first drive with the car.
|
If its the FRS likely has all seasons, but I'd say postpone it... at least until saturday
Be no fun spending the first 2-3 hrs in your new car in grid lock.. |
Wait.
|
i had stock tires on snow for 2 mins, can't even move forward. i made a 180 degree inertia drift and went back home. you really need snow tires. you can buy them and bring them to the dealer on friday.
|
Get some snow tires
|
|
I don't suppose the dealer will give you a good deal on some winter tires? Or perhaps a place down the street? Winter tires are a must for a driver with very little seat time in a RWD car. Not to mention most are sold with summer only tires.
|
ahh I see, I knew it was gonna be hard to drive on snow but its saying Friday would be the first day to snow more than 1 cm.. what if its not actually 5 cm can I still drive it in 2-3 cm? + when highways are cleaned up?
