Rausche Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Part of the reason I bought it was because it would be able to get me through the winter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twtrue Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I am going to drive mine in the winter. I have the stock rims and I am having them powdercoated black for a different look in the winter. Anyone know of some good 20" winter tires?

crawlinss Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 ss is the best vehicle ive ever driven in the snow, hands down. ive driven through winters: 2 jeep cherokees 1 86 grand prix one dakota r/t (with designated snow tires) 1 durango and the ss as long as youre on road, the ss is the best. the abs system is effective but not obtrusive, and you can leave the stoplights without drama (unless you want to have some fun, which i do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman52 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 all i have got to say is this.... I needed a truck. I got a truck. Yes.. I have a very very very very very nice truck.. but it still is a truck. I will baby the thing and tuck it in every single night. But.... I will use it to its fullest (though, this year since I am in college. I will leave it at home and take my other truck up to school. THere is no sence in letting it sit outside FULLY out in the open douring the worst times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltsblueSS Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I'm with the majority.. I live in Indy and we get our share of snow in the winter. Anywhere from 2" to 10" and you never know when it's coming. I've owned a Z71, a 2WD Ford, and a 2WD Chevy. You can drive a 2WD in the winter, but why do it if you don't have to?? I'm selling my bike so I decided I still wanted something fast yet need something practical. It's the perfect vehicle...fast as hell, looks great, has a bed, towing capabilities, and I can drive it in the snow. And if you're as anal as me, you'll wash it so damn much that snow and salt don't matter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riddle Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Ive had my 03 SS with a vortech supercharger, As my Daily driver for a year. I am Located in the interior of Alaska where for 9 months all the truck see's is snow and Ice and ambient temperatures reaching -60 degrees farinheight. I ran all year on General Grabber UHP tires, wich are not even all seasons. And It is the best winter truck I have driven.(much better then it's 4 wheel drive counter part because it sit lower, more stable and does not get drivline wind up when truning) IMO.

jbaker Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Just when I thought I had made a decision on new tires! I'm in Iowa - we can get our fair share of snow here in the midwest. I'm really interested with Riddler's report of great successs with the General Grabber UHP in snow. I need tires bad - a must do purchase for me before this winter's first snow. Yes, the SSS is going to remain a DD and will see as much snow as we get. Most recently I had begun to settle into thinking I'd go with the Cooper Discoverer HT Plus because of its reported abilities to handle well on snow and ice, but does anyone else have success stories with UHP / summer tires in the snow? I'm not asking for a global review, just unique successes of summer tires that were consistently used through winter months. Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared I'm on my third set of tires and going into my fourth winter....the Goodyear Eagle LS that came with the truck.....2nd set Falken ZIEX S/TZ-04, great tire, super mileage, handling (wet, snow etc) and the new tires I have on are Sumitomo HTR Sport H/P....the last two sets.....good tires without the additional cost of the big brand names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
