Will a 2005 G35 Coupe make it up to Big bear? I got 245/45/20 in the front I believe and 275/30/20 in the back I think? Not to sure but I know the first and last numbers are on the dot thanks!

 

You'd better pray that they are Blizzak tires or other winter-specific tires. If they are all-season, or summer tires.... you don't have a prayer with them in snow. 275's are also extremely wide tires for snow driving. Usually people try to put a more narrow tire on for the snow(at least when it comes to driving on roads) so you get more pressure per unit of tire surface area and it will dig into the snow/slush and get down to the pavement beneath it rather than just slopping around on top of the layer of sludge on the road.

 

You'll need winter tires for the G to work in the snow....

Go minus 3 (17") unless you have a BBK...
With rims and tires, it's still cheaper than 20" winters.

Edit: I guess that's too drastic for a single trip.... I would bring a different vehicle instead.

 

no.

 

i live in Fort McMurray, Alberta (google) and im doing just fine with my 04 6MT with Blizzaks. I drove it with all season performance tires, wasnt a good idea in the city, would never hit the highway with them though

 

i live in Lancaster PA and when it snows it snows like 2-3 day s in a row, we had 4 inches in October and the G really sucked in the snow but if your gonna do it you better get those 20s on and stock back on cause a 275 hahaha wheel just make it worse hope you got FULL coverage

 

Forget going to Big Bear with your G35 if there's snow on the roads. Putting chains on those tires (different sizes) would be a nightmare and might damage your ride... Rent a car and chains if you need to get up there!

Beater car FTW!!!

At least until I can afford to buy an FX...

 

Yep. Good luck getting through without chains when it snows. Shoulda got the sedan

But during summer time? No problem. =P

 

Im up in the mac too.

I got 225s, winters. Blizzacks up front and Dunlops in the back. Ive had no problems, and its super fun to turn off traction control!

 

Without snow tires these rwd cars suck in the snow. I should know, I got stuck in 2'' of snow with my summer tires up a slight grade on the way to Reno. After a quickie the snow let up for a minute leaving me just enough time to fish tail up the hill. I'll never do that again (driving in the snow I mean).

 

hahaha its beyond awesome! you work on site?
