Did anyone happen to be driving and get stuck in the snow, or did you all garage them for the winter?
Supras in the snow

Mine is sitting in front of the house in a freshly shoveled parking space.
My 85 is still down due to an engine rebuild, but for now, the MKIII will have to take over DD duties.

got stuck once today... not too bad earlier but once the temps dropped it was pretty squirrely. we have about an inch of hard packed snow on the roads here.
I'm in Portland at the moment...and there is quite a bit of snow falling...several inches. The closest thing we have up here to a Supra is the Mercedes E55 amg...and that will not even move in the snow lol. We are driving our F150 with chains and it still is having a hard time climbing these hills.
lol last sunday it snowed the first day, i was excited to do some drifting lol but the ps line blew just as i started it lol lol sucks, oh well maybe i would have crashed if it didnt blow:cry:
im about to move to cleveland in the middle of snow season... just got mkiv na wheels and wider tires HURT traction in snow. just installed stage 3 clutch. just installed fresh motor w/ more power.
god i hope i can keep from tearing my car up...

um mkiii + hankook ipikes = unstoppable tank in the snow. i made it places my friend in his evo got stuck....
i love it
i love it
No, go for real snow tires. I use Michelin M&S, never have a problem - better traction than SUVs get with their silly all seasons, 4wd or not.
definately. i would swear by the ipikes, and i drove them through the summer....not good, but not bad at all. i already have about 18k on them...at $86 per tire mounted and balanced

Funny, i was gonna start this exact same thread today.
well my supra is my DD, so i drive it as much as i can, but i drive my dad's bmw when it snows.
Just the smallest bit of snow and my car is all over the place.
I just took it for a spin earlier after all the snow from this weekend has mostly been taken care of. It's a whole lotta fun, but not much of transportation.
oh really?
I got Hankook Ventus 245s on my mkiv na wheels and traction is nowhere to be found with the smallest bit of snow.
I was thinking about some kind of skinnies on all four wheels. hah would that work?
But if you say you got some tracation with a supra in the snow with a good set of tires, then i'm alll ears.

Actual SNOW tires help a lot.They are skinnier and taller profile than summer tires.
