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. |

i live in colorado too. where you guys heading? driving in snow isnt that bad as long as you use common sense. even still, ive had a few scary moments. sometimes it doesnt matter how slow your going. coming to a stop on a downhill slope sometimes is just damn near impossible. best thing to do is just avoid driving when the roads are bad, although most city do a good job of shoveling and laying salt.

Well on main roads, they do. As long as you stick to highway's/main arterials and only travel durring the day you should be fine. Also all season tires help alot. -------------------- |
