this is true never had a problem driving in the snow even with low pro summer tires

[love_boost]

yeah i have no problems at all, i was surprised what it would go through.

hardest part is starting it in the -36 degree weather lol

[maxgohan]

wow, i was getting stuck so much last winter i second guessed even driving, :?

[JBNR32]

I had my gtr last winter and so much snow got packed into the wheels. When I turned the wheel it pushed the show and wrecked my fender liners. Never again.

PLUS I could let the clutch out and the wheels would spin and the car wouldnt move.

[specialedition]

it all depends on how your car is set up. I was running factory boost and low pro's i got stuck once but then again i only drove it on the first snow fall.

i had the gtr out cuz it was pretty nice, i was driving home the next morning at i ran into a blizzard like 5 hours away from home, my front mount kept freezing over and i couldn't boost and at one point i went to put it into 4th and my lsd locked up and swung the car around, i lucked out and didn't wreck after 3 or 4 360's on the highway so no more, tooo close :hit_head:

Try a foot of snow with -42 temps. rearwheels keep hitting light posts around here lol. I haven't used the 4x4 much but everything is black ice and deep snow

[JD74]

I don't know.....even in AWD Mode in my GTR.....

275/35/18 Summers on all 4 corners + Twin Plate + Lowered = the scariest ride I have ever taken in my GTR last Friday when I drove it to storage in a bunch of new snow and ice.....

If not for the Front TQ, I never would have been able to move the car when stopping at lights and signs.

The car never pulled straight ONCE....it was fun to say the least and a bit scary at times on Deerfoot..lol

Harsh, that was the Friday with the huge snowfall too, wasn't it?

My baby's been parked since November, but I'm thinking about getting a GTS4 or a crappy GTR for a winter vehicle.....not sure if I can justify two Skylines right now though :/

[tokes]

Don't get a crappy GTR for a winter car, you'll definitely regret it!

I'd seriously contemplate a GTS4 Sedan for winter though.

It sure was....lol

I nearly didn't make it out of my Block, as the snow was so deep and I live on a street that doesn't get plowed.

I waited till about 8:00pm till the roads were clear of traffic, then hauled ass across town. It was an interesting ride to say the least

I left it way too late this year for car storage and I will not make that mistake again, but I just had to get every last 'ride' out of it.....lol....right till the end.

in vancouver, no streets get plowed


since you drove to storage when it was snowing and there was salt on the road, you're car is now going to be sitting for a few months with salt on the underbody.

Don't use salt in Alberta.

I'd like to add to the Nokian Tire thing. I am using the RSI's on my Mazda. Yes they are expensive but they are the best winter tires I have ever used by a long shot. The last couple snow storms in Calgary have shown me that I made a good choice. A funny moment from a couple weekends ago...

I was going to Market mall going up hill. Porsche Cayanne lost traction and started sliding side ways. Then a Rav 4 and the exact same thing happened. I went thru the same spot with out any problems. I had to chuckle at all the soccer moms in their SUV's with 4 wheel drive that will get them thru everything.
