Isses with snow and ice

Well here is the problem i am in New Hampshire and i dont know if you all have noticed but we have gotten over two feet of snow since christmas time. Now the roads are still somewhat covered in snow and slush. Everytime that i drive now i get and excessive amount of snow and ice stuck in the wheel wells which is causing the suspension to work as it should and for my tires to be rubbing. Now i have had other cars and the snow usually falls out over time but the gap is much smaller on the max and there are so many inlits and spots for snow to collect on making it impossible for the snow to fall out. Curious if any of you are having the same issue and if so if there has been anythign that you have doen to fix it.

I have exactly the same issue. The only solution I've found is to take a brush and knock all the snow out every time I park. If I don't do that the car will be very unstable at any speed over about 40 mph. I think the reason for this is the snow and slush buildup freezes rock solid....

Spray Wet Tire Shine under there before it snows. Nothng sticks. PAM might work too, but your car will smell like Butter all the time.
