With a narrower tire, you have more pressure being exerted per square inch of rubber. This allows the sure to push down through the loose snow to the hard road below, or at the very least, compact the snow down.blackturbona said:
Snow Tires Or Not?

there's no replacement for snows (when living in an environment that has snow) All seasons aren't very good for anything imo.
No
Put the supra away and get yourself a winter beater. An old rusty toyota 4x4 truck for instance or a awd suby.

hmm, or u push through to the ice under the snow where u get almost no traction at all. thats how all the roads get around here
I suppose, but then it's all down to tire composition more than anything else. Soft rubber + seipes, and you're all set.blackturbona said:
Like I said, I've never gottem my Supra stuck in snow, (or ice). I can motor up icy hills no problem. Michellin X-Ice 205/55s
My Yokohama 285/40s won't even bother moving the car if there's any snow on the ground. Oh, the number of times I've had to quickly swap tires out on the road when I wake up, and find a foot of snow on everything
haha nothing worse than waking up to a foot of snow with the summers still on. i have toyo proxes r1's and the second there is snow the supra is stuck. but i have all season tires for the winter.
I got my studded snows put on a week ago and now its been sunny and hot. Stupid colorado. The weather can turn from 75 to snowing in less than 30 hours.
Its seriously supposed to snow next week and this week has been 60-75.
I feel dumb with my studs now, but it'll be great when that first snow hits and I lose ZERO traction.
