Re: Winter Driving
SlimCrossfire and BlackSRT,
I also live in Missouri and am trying to get ready for this winter. I live in Fulton and am the NWS Coop Observer. I checked through the past 115 years of data on snow/ice and found we have an average of 14 1/2 days with more than a trace of snow each year. The heaviest year was 1978 when we had 33 days with more than a trace of snow/ice. In the last 10 years, we have only averaged 10 days with more than a trace of snow.
At least I have a brand new set of Conti's in the garage and will be replacing the Sport Pilots in October to give me the best chance in the snow. I just hope the Crossfire is better than my Conquest. That car was afraid of the snow - every time I took it out in snow it jumped into a ditch to hide.
The owners manual lists a specific set of chains that can be used with the car. Has anyone bought them and tried them? Which specific model is used and where can you get them?
Thanks,
Rick
