I always ise snow tires Posted by Viggen Aero [Email] (#977) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Viggen Aero) on Wed, 24 Jul 2013 12:23:06 In Reply to: Re: Why All Season vs Summers?, RBatsch, Fri, 5 Jul 2013 04:54:54 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I have 2 Viggen's and I have used the 3 door occasionally in the winter, using Gislaved,s. The vert has never seen winter. But my primary winter vehicle is a 2004 Audi Allroad. Even with worn summer tires, it will go significantly better than any snow tire equipped Viggen in the snow. So will my daughter's A6 & A4. The Allroad is much better than my former C900, several 9000's, 9-5 wagon, and 9-5 aero- all using great snow tires. It will go up my long and steep driveway through a foot of snow and right into the garage. Our only SAAB's that could ever come close to that were the two 9000 Aero's- mine and my son's. The 9-5 aero and 9-5 wagon- forget about it!
That said, I am a firm believer in always using snow tires. In my experience a good snow tire is way better than any all season tire in the snow. Every car I have owned over the past 25 years has has snows mounted on dedicated rims. And my 3 kids have done the same- even on the Audi's.
