1985-1998 [Subscribe to Daily Digest] |
Today is the second largish snowstorm to hit Minnesota this March. I spun out on an exit ramp (fortunately the only thing damaged was my ego). As this is my first car with a manual transmission I wonder if those divers in winter climates might proffer a suggestion or two. The Saab doesn't respond well to being started in 1st gear - and often I notice substantial wheel spin in second as well. I suppose liberal use of the clutch is appropriate here. I also noticed someething strange in the tire sizing on my '87. The front tires are 195 Pirelli's but the rear tires are 185 Michelins. Could this unorthodox tire sizing I inherited from the previous owner add to unstable nature of the car in snow?
