[s-cars] RE: 255/40 17 Snow Tires

[LL - NY]

I WISH I could've fit 15's over my BigBlacks. That way, with 195/65-15's I
wouldn't
have gotten stuck last winter up the grade from my friend's rural house. Had
trouble
backing out of it, too. Needed a push to get free. The side slipping from
even the
205/55-16's is what got me in trouble, I ended up high centered over the
edge of
a drainage ditch in about 6" of packed powder. I never got stuck, even with
"old"
tech snows in my 200Q with 195's.  Does make for a more boring car in the
dry
though.
