I NEED SNOW TIRES!!!

Will the 15" rims clear on an SVT?
I swear I have searched a while ago and they would but double checking...

I'm gonna kill myself if I don't get some tires.

I have Blizzak's on mine. It is almost as good in the snow as our Jeep Liberty LTD.

I know it says I live in Tampa, but that's actually only about 5 months a year. I also find myself in North Carolina and NY a lot of the time. In the winter that means I see snow every now and then. I wanted to ask. Has anyone else thought that their SVT does worse in the snow with aftermarket suspension. I have koni's, Ground control, and a rear swaybar. I have decent all season tires that do work somwhat in the snow. I autocross and I know things not to do, like downshift. Unless you think it's fun to do 360's in the snow. I just did and autocross this weekend in the rain, and found myself about to loose it after downshifting while entering a turn. I know, your not supposed to do that. I cought it, but not bofore taking out a few cones.

think I could get away with just two front blizzaks?
And some steelies outta the junk yard?

My buddy says, that driving blizzaks on the asphalt once the snow is gone will ruin them.

What's you take, will i get more than one season outta these?

SVT = Sledding Vehicular Terror

Old news...

With anything but dedicated snow tires that is. (Like any car with hi-po tires on it)
With snow tires is behaves great in the snow.

I hate to burst your bubble but 2-3" of snow is barely a dusting. That really is not any indication of a tire's snow ability.
