Hey guys i need some help from some of you Northern Celi owners. Me and Spacepanda are heading to Colorado on Jan 2nd till the 6th. We understand that we ARE going to run into snow. Since we arent going up there long we dont want to put snow tires on his Celi and we where wondering if we could get some input on how well the cars handle in the snow with chains. Hes got a bit of a drop on his car and we are not light people. So were a little worried about sliding around on the roads
 So any input on the cars handling with chains in snow with a slit drop ( i believe its an Inch and a half drop) would help out a lot. |

Good all-season tires are usually enough, pretty sure there is not enough clearance on a celica for regular chains. You might be able to use some of the really thin cable-chains IF you have the clearance: http://tirechain.com/CAR_CABLE_MOUNTING_INTRUCTIONS.HTM |
