Hi all,
I’ve got an ‘01 LX here in sunny FL that I run on mud tires — specifically, 285/75/16 Maxis Razr MTs. I have a trip planned in two weeks to DC for a family wedding. I’m concerned I may find myself driving along snowy roads, which I understand is NOT ideal on mud tires.
I can’t spend $400-500 on a set of snow tires for a few days of driving, as I’m extremely unlikely to ever use them again.
So I am planning on running tires chains if the going gets snowy, but I don’t know how snowy it needs to be before fitting them.
I’m also wondering what tire pressures I should run.
Can anyone provide any advice for my situation so I can avoid an accident? I’ll have my family along for the ride, so I’m trying to be extra cautious and over-prepare. Thanks!
