intrax vs snow anybody ever fought this war?

 

nope and i don't plan on it....if it snows the car is parked

 

Same here. I don't need my front end becoming a plow, ya know?!!

 

I live in south Georgia. I'm glad I don't have that problem. I haven't seen snow down here in 10 years or so. I just have to deal with extreme heat during the summers. It's humid as hell here. The only place I have been to that is worse was in Texas.

 

do u guys think all be all right since i dont have a body kit or will the wheel wells get messed up?

 

just as long as ur not so low to the ground you will be fine.Its not so much height as it is traction. I dont know how much snow u get though so ground clearance could become an issue in extreme situations. as for the wheel wells, the snow in the wheel wells will just wear off when the tire spins. sorry for speaking the obvious

 

I'm a Massachusetts guy (with suspension technique springs), and I got stuck once in NH. However, it was mostly my idioticness. I tried to park closer to the side of a plowed road and sunk into the snow (which I thought was frozen solid). I had to get dragged out of the snow by an SUV with a rope tied to my towing hook. But, in general, as long as you don't hit any big dips on roads or into driveways, you should be cool.

 

i live in iowa

 

ummm...my car = snow plow...i think height has a little something to do with it

 

Certainly you can drive your lowered car in winter, with suitable tires, of course. Try a summer tire and you will be going nowhere fast.

The problem, of course, is getting stuck. You get stuck when the snow is higher than your ground clearance so your wheel is hanging off the road or not pressed hard enough to it. And with lowered car it won't take very much snow for that to happen! You can still drive your lowered car in winter, as most roads are plowed clar in winter, but you have to be very careful. Drive only when snow is not falling, and avoid areas that seem to have thick cover of snow. Some small side roads and parkng lots are not plowed, so beware. And be ready to get stuck sometime when you judge wrong! Carry a shovel and sand to free yourself if you do get stuck, or get a car club membership for towing! Or always bring some friends for pushing!

 

no intrax but same mentality, car goes in the garage at the first site of a snowflake and doesnt come out until there all melted and everythings dried up
