Winter Driving
Anyone know what the road clearance is on a 1-series? Four, maybe five inches? My point is that when snow accumulation gets six inches or so, the car will hang up on the snow and snow tires won't matter any more. Annual six inch snowfalls are pretty much guaranteed in the northeast.
The investment in a snow tire/rim package will only be useful in a pretty narrow range of winter weather -- light snow. That $1,200 will go a long way toward a beater Jeep, Explorer or Blazer to use in bad weather and keep the 1-series all comfy warm and salt-free in the garage.
