Driving to Middleton Idaho on Friday, will I need snow tires for my 2013 ford focus? - 1

That depends where you're driving from. Forecast for Middleton is for less than an inch. If you have decent all season tires on the car you should be fine.

All weather radials should work just fine - if you have the proper amount of tread, for wet or even dry road traction (up to the hairline on a quarter placed in the treads).

  • Can 225/70R16 tires fit on rims that have 225/70r14 tires on them? I have 225/70r14 tires on my Ford ranger. I just got some 225/70r16 tires of the same brand, Cooper, given to me. Will they fit on the 225/70r14 rims or do I need to get rims to fit the 225/70r16.
  • Do they make low profile SNOW tires? I live in Northern NY but my dream car is a Ford Mustang Cobra R. I want to get just a normal mustang and make it a Cobra R replica, but it'll be my daily driver. So do they make snow tires in low profile? And don't tell me to get a different vehicle just because of where I live. I'm set on this car and am just looking for an answer to the question asked. Don't act like my mother.
  • 2013 Ford Fusion vs Subaru Outback: Which is better on snow and more reliable? 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium AWD vs 2011 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited AWD Which is better for a 19 year old and can handle the intense Michigan winters?

Easy to drive for a new, young driver .Anyone wanna help me out?
