coyttl Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Actually, I personally think that having a lighter car is an advantage in snow. Sure, you're less likely to "dig down" with less weight on the tires, but it should be easier to STOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
