snow
My wife has a 2005 se that she loves. It has never been in the snow. I am looking at a 1999 for my daughter has but was wondering how they do in the snow.

RE: snow
Most vehicles perform well in even 4" of snow. Any more then that and you should wait for the plows. Most sedans have 5" of ground clearance. I'm not sure what you mean by "2005 se", but with any vehicle if you are unsure about winter performance look at your current tires: If they have a smooth low tread then they won't give much winter traction. If the tires have an aggressive tread with some large sipes around the sidewalls they will perform better. Some all season tires can be bought for a few more bucks then winter tires.

I drove my 2004 Hyudai Tiburon GTv6 for one week last winter in one bad snow storm. It is a deathtrap. The worst car I have ever driven in snow. After that one snow storm I said NEVER again. It may as well been my little red casket that day. I put 4 new snow tires on before this winter. Just drove it yesterday in 6 inches of snow and it did great.Awesome as a matter of fact. DO NOT let your wife or daughter drive their Tiburons without snow and ice tires. Forget the all weather tires too. Ice and snow tires only.

RE: snow
So can I use snow tires during other weathers ?
I am thinking it might impact my mileage. |
RE: snow
Snow tires probably don't give the best mileage, but it's probably not a big difference. The big problem with snow tires is the noisy ride.
