I had an 03 Cavy with the 2.2 motor and it was mint. I never got stuck in the snow once. Also I didn't have snow tires, everybody always asked why I didn't, the cavy is a beast in the snow

Well on my side of town Strider we got 12. Went to Cub foods and got stuck, but only because I was lowered and got stuck in the center of the car.
My 15" continentals actually handled very well. But I Want rims will some good all season tires for the shitty snow here

We had 10-11 inches here in New Mexico and the 2.2 balt did pretty well. The only problem was that my driveway is uphill and well...I never made it uphill =P. I had to park down by the side of the road.

Get Potenza G009's, I got them after my Continentals and the difference is night and day.
