X2 I laugh at 4 inches!
By the way, how does your ford focus handle in the snow? Mine handles like shit! I guess the race tuned eng and sport perelli tires FTL!

mine handles pretty good actually.. if you are careful. I think i have the same perelli tires as you (16" 50s).

the only time i got stuck was in my driveway //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif and it was only because i was going to slow and the snow drift was deeper than i thought (like 8-9").

The other day i was cruising along at like 70, and hit a snow drift that had turned to slush.. i thought for sure i was going to end up in the ditch, but i killed cruise control, didnt brake and was fine. It was pretty squirrelly, but i didn't end up in the ditch.

the fofo is WAY better than my van in the snow... bald front tires and good tires on RWD (with no weight in the back) ftmfl.

Yeah, those are them I am pretty sure. Is yours stick as well? Cause I think all the torque in my car and wanting to go has a lot to do with it. I mean I am fine once I am going, just is a bish sometimes to get going. Good thing I know how to drive in the snow, e-brake for the WIN!

yeah mine a manual, but i don't have as much torque as you.

I just sort of think all manual cars are like that in the snow/ice.. but it still beats the fukk out of an auto //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

heavy snow fall tends to do that.

Yeah true. I remember my cavaliers doing that too, but I had more snow tires for snow when I had those cars. These tires even in the rain just seem a little iffy. Like I said might be all dat HP under that hood. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
