...." The 122 is one of the world's best snow cars period. Anyone who thinks otherwise can't drive. Put a hundred pounds of something in the trunk, and studded snows on the back, and the stock skinny tires up front, and you are moving down the road safely."....

So my 215/45's aren't a good choice? :-)

Having driven hundreds of thousands of kms in Calgary winters, I can say skinny snow tires are your best weapon. Not those wimpy things they call all season tires; real manly snow tires.

My 122 stays parked in the winter. My least concern is that I might smack it up. My biggest concern is the other idiots driving their all-season tire equipped suv's...
