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.
Just put some crownvictoria wheels on it in the wintet
Low profile is rather a bad idea in winter as ideally you want an extra inch of ground clearance. I'd agree. Get a set of steels for winter. Michelin Alpins are significantly better than regular road tyres and widely available. But for me the best are the vredstein wintracs. Just outstanding. They are winter road tyres not deep snow knobblies. In this car more than a couple of inches of snow isn't going to be do-able. And put 50kg of sand/salt/paving slabs in the back in winter or you'll never keep traction.
Yes. THEY make low-profile winter tires and have for decades.
Whether the Cobra R is for the '90's or the "00's simply stick with the OE tire size. And yes, most all tire manufactures will have snow tires in that recommended size.
- 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.
- Will a set of 235/60-R17 tires fit a vehicle with 225/50-R17 tires currently? If they do I'm assuming there would be a MPH difference on the speedometer. Update: The 60 series set is from a 2014 Ford Focus and are stud-less winter tires. They are to go on a 2012 Ford Fusion.
- Snow tires on the same rims? I have a '14 Ford Focus riding currently on the factory wheels and rims size 215/55/R16. Can I use snow on those rims?
- How much do snow tires cost? I need to start putting some money aside to get snow tires for my new car for this winter, so I just wanted to know about how much that's gonna run me. I have a 2002 Ford Focus ZTS
