He lives in Canada. I'm no expert but i think 305's in the back and 275's in the front aren't ideal for snow.

really depends.. if its thick heavy packed snow then obviously you want more psi on the road to dig down / thinner tire, but most often then not the road is patchy so in the case a wider tire is better because you have a better chance at grabbing a dry spot.

that just from my personal experience of driving a decade and a half in wisconsin winters, which are notably bad with lake effect.

Shut the fuck up Turbo, you are a dumbass and have no idea what you are talking about if you expect a Corvette to make it through the winter half decently in Canada.

All you do is go around the forum trying to tell everyone how Dodge is the best and stepping on toes as much as you can.

Ridiculous.

no, if you lived around here and seen all the vettes, camaro's, challengers, chargers, and porsche 911's driving around in winter with steelies and winterforces / blizzaks on you would understand.

it has more to do with knowing how to drive than anything else.

Think back in the 60's and 70s when all you had was high power rear wheel drive cars with no sort of traction control whatsoever. They did perfectly fine.

I think you just need to take the panties off and man up a bit.

That's the problem though, most people don't know how to drive at all. There also happens to be a huge difference between a 5000lb car sitting 8 inches off the ground from the 60s and 70s and a car 2-3 inches off and weighing a substantial amount less. And take into consideration tire sizes from then and now

I'm more worried about either plowing snow into the intake and hydrolocking the motor or high centering the car on a mound of snow lol.



See above. My corvette is significantly lower than most.

There isnt much water when its below freezing. And the slush there is is a hell of a less less then a rainstorm in spring.

if its a concern, use an airbox (not sure if you got stock or aftermarket cai horseshit or not.)

actually most muscle cars back then were in the 3-4k lbs range, not much different then today, if not lighter because they didnt have 200lbs of wires and electronics and all the modern shit cars today have. For modern cars being mostly composites and plastics, and old cars being solid steel, the weight difference is negligible.

1000lbs is significant, but thanks for dodging the other points in there. Especially in Ontario, you want something that has clearance, grip, and isn't rwd for the winter.

i dont think you have driven a winter in wisconsin between the lakes where a 12-18 inch dump in half a night isnt uncommon lol. A lot less common then the 6-10foot drifts the cover every country road, lol. The winters arnt that much different here....yet, i plowed my supercharged 91 mustang gt through it, my 2006 hemi charger, my 2011 challenger, my new challenger this upcoming winter, and sadly on one occasion, my 74 dodge charger 440 big block with 315's on rear and 205's on front.

oh, sand bags in the trunk works wonders, fyi.
