So we're supposed to have crazy crappy weather here this weekend, which brings me back to something I wondered last winter but never really bothered much to pursue. My car isn't lowered yet, so can I use cables on my 17" wheels without worrying about damaging the wheel well? I've got 225/45/17s on. What if my car is lowered? (it'll be 1.5" lowered) Can I still use them, or does lowering it rule that out?
You guys in snowy places, how do you go about it? --------------------  |

Well I'm not gettin' studded tires, that's for sure. Living in Portland there's just no need for them unless you go up the mountain a lot, and if I did, I wouldn't drive a Celica up it
 For all I know my tires will be fine in the snow... I am from the east coast, after all. But I live up a steep hill and I don't wanna crack my car all up, so I was thinking maybe I should have cables on hand for that one or two times a year I need 'em... but IDK if it's a bad idea on 17" wheels on our cars? No one has any insight to this? -------------------- |
