Who drives their Integra in snow?

[CrashBandit]

So we are coming up on Fall/Winter, I was wondering who here drives their Integras in the snow? This will be my first time dealing with snow/ice since I got rid of my 4x4 Explorer. I live in the mountains where it'll probably snow 100inches or so this season and I also have to deal with steep hills, roads, etc. Any and all comments on this topic are welcome. I plan on getting new tires also to help. I have read in Car&Driver or some other auto magazine that having narrower tires helps with snow, does anyone have any input on this?

here it gets pretty bad maybe 2-3 times, usually lasting one or two day at a time and so most cars wont make it thru the snow. thus why i have a 4wd Jimmy
this was last year, tried to get the teg out after and hr of cleaning it off i got to the end of the alley and got stuck lol

Ended up taking out the jimmy and had no problem

These are the tires i have on the teg, only way to do it. other wise i dont know how it would make it thru the winter

half done with studding them

I got them for $180, steel wheels,studs and tires

So my suggestion, 14in steel wheels with studded or atleast some snow tires
with the studded tires u drive like normal and actually stops great in the ice

As much as Id like to let mine hibernate for the winter, I don't have a second car. But my car does fine in the snow. Never gotten stuck and never slid and that was still the case even after last years snowmagedon when Chicago got 2 feet of snow.

Awww. A cute lil snowtoshoot<3

Anyway, do people even like snow? The only ice I see is on the lawn on really really cold days and its hard to notice if you dont look closely. It melts as soon as the sun comes up.

The snow blows big time. Here in Iowa we get plenty of it and I only have the teg. I switch to 195-65 series tires with fresh tread and drive careful everywhere I go. Haven't had a problem in with my 3rd gen but when i had a 2nd gen ls it got stuck everywhere.

I think ill walk before I will drive my teggy in the snow... mostly because they use magchloride here, and I dont wanna watch my car rust out in a few years. I like my teggy, so I baby it lol.. I will have my jeep this winter though, and its a lot easier to clean off the crap.

I drove my old Civic in the snow occasionally. Snow patches in the road were the most treacherous cause I didn't' want to bottom out on them (or rip my Si front lip off).

I raise car,swap rims out, swap vc and use to take off lip but don't anymore. If it snows more than 4" I won't drive it. I need to buy a new dd.

I learned on Top Gear to let some air out if the tires for more surface area

If there's more then a couple inches I don't think I will drive it in the snow. I need to get mucho better tires for that. My tires are somewhat new in the front, and I can lose traction at any point through third if I throttle, and sometimes in 4th/5th lol.

got myself brand new snow shoes for the car last winter so im prepared!
