RE: Snow - 11/8/2007 4:45:19 AM    mikeymo67   Posts: 44 Joined: 11/4/2007 Status: offline In curious to see how the Blazer does in the snow. My Dad says it always did great. My Tracker has always been unstoppable, but I'm probably not going to drive it much over the winter unless I have to. I'll save if for the off-road and fun in the sun. _____________________________ Mike 1999 Chevrolet Blazer 1993 Chevrolet Beretta 1991 Geo Tracker 4x4 1984 Nissan 300zx Turbo 2004 Chevrolet Malibu (in reply to lennyblazer) Post #: 24

RE: Snow - 11/8/2007 4:50:02 AM    drperry Posts: 3901 Joined: 1/12/2007 From: GP AB CA Status: offline A decent set of tires, a couple lbs of weight... Not all that needed in an SUV... And a good right foot, and you'll never need 4x4 for most of the road conditions... _____________________________ (in reply to mikeymo67) Post #: 25

RE: Snow - 11/8/2007 10:00:15 AM    BLK85   Posts: 900 Joined: 12/20/2006 Status: offline Mine did good for the most part.  Although I did loose control once after screwing around and hit a mail box.  That was in 2wd and with bald tires.  I was also got packed in with snow from the snow plow when I was parked on the street.  The snow was pretty damn deap and I got out of that without much problem.  That was also with the bald tires.  I now have some good tires so I hope I can do better this year. < Message edited by BLK85 -- 11/8/2007 10:01:33 AM > _____________________________ 1999 Blazer 4x4 4 door 1998 Pontiac Firebird Formula-12.36@112mph 2007 Yamaha TTR230 (in reply to lennyblazer) Post #: 32

RE: Snow - 11/10/2007 8:22:38 AM    blazinloud Posts: 2425 Joined: 2/8/2006 From: Saskatoon, Canada Status: offline I dunno what kinda tires yall runnin but my jimmy in 2hi on snow or ice is useless. any sort of incline is impossible to get up. wednesday morning I had to leave for work at 4:15am to drive 220km to work. And just my luck we get freezing rain and a dusting of snow. Well lets just say I went in the ditch once, almost twice. was freaky!!!!! I never want to do that again. I eventually put it in 4hi and it was alot better, but some spots looked like dry pavement, so I wasent sure if it was a good idea, but I'm not taken anymore chances. _____________________________ (in reply to lennyblazer) Post #: 33

My BFG's do good on snow and.... passable, on ice... They're too wide of a tire for good ice grip... _____________________________ (in reply to blazinloud) Post #: 34

RE: Snow - 11/10/2007 9:38:50 AM    drperry Posts: 3901 Joined: 1/12/2007 From: GP AB CA Status: offline I plan on picking up a set of Yokohama Geolandar I/T's in a 215/80/R15 size... Apparently meets the load rating for my truck, and is about the same OD as the stock rubber... _____________________________ (in reply to quinnman105) Post #: 36

RE: Snow - 11/10/2007 9:55:25 AM    drperry Posts: 3901 Joined: 1/12/2007 From: GP AB CA Status: offline Ahhh, a little different than mine... Mine came with 235/75/R15... When I went to price the winter tires, the tire guy didn't believe me that my truck came with those, lol. He thought I had the 70 series... You could always go to a 225/75, it's pretty much the same height as the 235/70... _____________________________ (in reply to quinnman105) Post #: 38

RE: Snow - 11/10/2007 10:03:44 AM    drperry Posts: 3901 Joined: 1/12/2007 From: GP AB CA Status: offline It all depends on what your winters are usually like... We get a lot more ice than snow, usually, so that's why the BFG's are gonna be on the shelf for awhile... I'll probably squeak by a little while by lowering the air pressure in them for now... _____________________________ (in reply to quinnman105) Post #: 40
