I just picked up a pair of Firestone Winterforce tires (155/80-13) as well as 2 extra rims to mount them on. What a difference from my all-season tires! I couln't get out of my driveway unless it was manicured before. Now I leave extra snow there just for fun! I just did the fronts and it seems like a whole different car. When I had the '96, it seemed to be better in the snow. This '92 is lighter and the tires evidentely don't "dig in" as well. These new tires makes it better than the '96. With these tires and my Katz heater, I should be all set for the winter.
