those of you who own turbocoupes... Reply #4 – December 06, 2007, 04:12:08 PM Hopefully it is a 5spd then you can just take off in 2nd that will help. I know once down here we got 12" of snow and I got around in myTC just fine. It is all in how you drive and how many morons are out with you. Quote Selected

those of you who own turbocoupes... Reply #9 – December 06, 2007, 06:26:45 PM I did it with py tires for two winters. Takes some getting used to. I'm actually surprised how well my ranger is doing so far. Quote Selected
those of you who own turbocoupes... Reply #10 – December 06, 2007, 06:26:57 PM Definitely get some good snow tires, preferably narrower than the stock 225's - maybe some 205/70R15's on a set of 10-holes.A half worn snow tire is better than a brand new all-season... Quote Selected
those of you who own turbocoupes... Reply #11 – December 06, 2007, 06:45:35 PM I actually did very well, on old dry rotten tires. Quote Selected

those of you who own turbocoupes... Reply #14 – December 06, 2007, 07:49:13 PM I have a TC now... w00t. Been one wheel peeling it for many of years. The traclok does make a difference. Still have a tow strap in the trunk incase something bad happens. Quote Selected
