Heh... funny how posting to the Euro forum gets a fellow nor east USA guy to respond..... I lived in northeastern Pa... the Poconos... the snow here may not be the same as europe... but the snow YOU will encounter is northeast USA snow... and I have 20+ years expereince with those winters.... Some suggestions....
make sure your coolant is tested to at least 35 below zero. Make sure you have an operating thermostat. Hopefully your heater core isn't plugged... and the blend door cable works so you have heat... get 4 steel wheels... get 4 snow tires. If you car is at or near stock ride height... get 175/70/14 snow tires**... in effect getting a 175/70 is like the reverse of buying performance tires.... "minus 1" tire sizing instead of "plus 1" tire sizing...... ** - if you are lowered.... look for a 175/65/14, finally.... if you must... a 175/60/14 The tires I currently recommend are Nokian... get 4 of any of these and you'll be AMAZED at your traction levels on ice and snow http://www.nokiantires.com/en/tire_hakkarsi.aspx http://www.nokiantires.com/en/tire_hakka2.aspx http://www.nokiantires.com/en/tire_hakka5.aspx http://www.nokiantires.com/en/tire_hakka4.aspx Dan - You can |  ....
