Yes I am looking for ideas on tires. Standard tires as issued with new vehicle are good in all conditions except snow, sleet, ice. ZX3 handled worse than any other vehicle I have ever driven in winter conditions. My guess is that fat tires caused it to float on the snow instead of biting in. Not sure if buying snows is the answer as same problem will likely occur. Has anyone else had this problem and if so did they find a solution?
And how did I end up with the Chey tag? Never owned one*!:chevysucks:

well i think maybe chains or studded tires but i really have no idea
and the chevy thing hmmmm well lets just say its rigth of passage find the post it called status questions its up right now actually and youll understand the chevy thing

front wheel drive, tires are 205/50/16's. I slid from here to Timbucktu this winter and if I can't find a solution I have to dump this puppy. We get about 20 feet of snow a year.

suggestions I have had is to install smaller rims for the winter with snows or studded snows. Probably would work but a PIA and expensive. Contact with Ford has not given me an answer? Gotta be an answer somewhere other than selling the thang

um talk to your local tire stores and see what they say, they mught be able to help you the most

I dont know. We do not get much snow in Texas. Maybe once or twice every 5 years.

I have spoken to tire guys and even they are not really sure what to do. The problem is the width of the tire, and a snow tire on these rims would still tend to "float" the car, plus they are about 180 a piece and would need all 4! Time to move south.

anyone know how i could contact someone at Ford for advice on this one?

Might have to buy a Chevy!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

go pick up a set of steel wheels from a junk yard and get a set of snow tires and have them installed on those wheels. then just put those tires on during the winter. try bridgestone blizzack tires heard good things bout them for winter traction!
