poor driving performance in the snow
my finance' has a 2007 Elantra SE and is having trouble handling the vehicle in the snow...
anyone have experience with this vehicle in the snow? any suggestions to help? good snow tire recommendation? TIA -Jeff |
RE: poor driving performance in the snow
There's nothing wrong with the Elantra in the snow. Either the tires are bad or the driver is.

Slowing down is key to hadling in the snow |
RE: poor driving performance in the snow
good snow tire recommendation? http://www.coopertire.com/html/produ...ra&opt=GLS I drive snow and ice all winter and these tires work great. These tires are pinned for studs, but studs really are not needed. Studs simply tear up the road, the car and the tires themselves. any suggestions to help? |

thx for the tips everyone!
the issue she was having was getting stuck in several inches of unplowed snow (which is typical in the downtown areas of Minneapolis/St. Paul after a snowfall) while turning a corner from a standstill- car apparently just didn't go |

I have a 2008 Elantra and am having the same issues. I have trouble breaking, the anti-lock brakes kick in immediately if there is the slightest bit of snow or slush on the ground. I also have a lot of difficulty starting from a stop. The faintest touch of the gas pedal and the car just starts fishtailing. I have lived in rochester ny my whole life and I know how to drive in the snow. Its not the driver, its the car!

Hyundai in general in the snow.
My Santa Fe was terrible in the snow. The front wheels would just spin with the lightest touch of the accelerator even with snow tires. Makes me wonder if these cars are engineered to perform well in the snow. My new g5 does great with the stock tires that came with the vehicle.
