Bill never lets us down:
<<<A lot of SUVs come stock with 255's and larger. >>>
And a lot of SUV's I see in ditches on the roadside. Hmmmm...
To be specific, well, yes, in fact I have tried them. Jen's '98 ML320
had 255/16's and it wasn't really all that good in the snow. Would 'go'
ok (operative word being ok), but wouldn't 'stop' for shit. Her '02
with 255/17's is about the same.
So, yes, BTDT. Keep the Clancyisms coming tho... they're certainly
good fun! 8-)
-Paul but sure you go nuts and run your 255's I'll stick mit me 225s
thanks K.

Has anyone ever tried a set of 255's in the snow and found that they got
stuck or that it was just horrible to drive? A lot of SUVs come stock
with
255's and larger. Ever see what comes stock on the back of an X5? 285
35/19. A 255 is not crazy wide. We're only talking 10% wider than
stock. BFD.

Mark Strangetamed:
<<<I often have a hard time taming down after the snows go on. This
results in a lot of ugly turns and front tire wear.
YMMV ofcourse
Mark>>>
Hey I resemble that remark! 8-) Good for you Mark, sounds ohso
familiar. 'Tis why Ms. 4000lb Piggie wears H's and no skinnier than
225.
And you forgot: "and a lot of wheelspin", heh heh. My front lifts so
much on launch I bake my 225/50/16 Pirelli Snowsports to the point of
not much center tread left. D'oh. Left wundrin if they're better left
up front or rotated to the rear?
And, Bwhahahahaha to 255/17 snows. BwHA! Now there is a Bill Clancy
post... haven't seen a doozie like that in a while. Like a Bizarro
post or something. Maybe you can run some spinner 20's with 335's or
something wider / larger???

'95 //S6 with once again worn H rated snows about to go back on for
further / continued sadistic abuse
