Will Supra Go In The Snow?

[ogun228]

do you use Continental DWS in winter on your Supra?

Yes. They were recommended by my Indy.
Told me that he fitted them to his Mom's car, so I
Thought I'd give them a try. I am so far super impressed
to the point of thinking f leaving them on permanently.

thanks for the reply. I've been considering the Supra as my only car in North Jersey, and am looking to see if I can get a 18" winter tire set but it's nice to know the Continentals will be a good backup if I can't find anything that fits.

up in ontario like michigan, we have winter cars that are cheap and wont make you cry when they are covered in crap.
to me this car is a treat and a luxury and we treat it like that!!

First real snow of the season in Chicago tomorrow, so we will find out how this car does...running 255/265 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4.

Yes totally agree Ontario and north east US winters just kick the crap out of a car especially the exterior. Mine sleeps comfortably in storage, and in ten years will look like new.

Have winter tires (Michelin Alpins) on just because of temperature. Got caught in a snowstorm in the mountains that dumped about 16" overnight. Car handled just fine. I did have autosocks with me just in case but did not need them.

Incidentally, took the supra on winter tires and tracked it at Thunderhill last weekend. Somehow beat my lap time from earlier this summer on summer tires.

I'll take this as a yes

My biggest concern is usually the height of the snow more so than just slush snow.

Let’s see more of that 488 you got sitting there.

If you’re driving on the PSS or PS4 don’t do so if it’s under 20. The tires will crack and you’ll be SOL on any warranty claim.

I finally decided to go with the Alpin PA4s on stock wheels after going back and forth between picking an A/S as an under 40 degree tire here in VA. I'll let everyone know specifics when I get them installed 2nd week of Dec. I'm gonna copy JAhmed's setup, 255/35/19 + 265/35/19
