and the first question is not an issue. This is how the car works.

winter CHILLS!!!!!!!!!! by speedy25

I had my 2006 Sport Miatia for about three weeks. Today I woke up to about 1/4 inch of snow and headed to work. I had 3 strokes before I got around the corner. It spun out several times as I was doing 15-20 mph. I made a simple left hand turn at low speed (you better believe it!). It made the turn and kept moving horizonally. YIKES! It's my only car! I'm hearing I need winter tires. What are the best makes and models? Is there something else I can do besides winter tires? I have the 18 inch wheels. This was like driving a car on roller-skates.
Thanks for your suggestions

Gears will not change when motor is running in my 92 miata. Can turn car off and they go into gear then. What is my problem? Please help.

Mazda Miata: clutch replacement by mlrhodus

I have done many clutch jobs in my time, but never on a car with independent rear suspension; there appears to be a strut or brace connecting the transmission to the rear differential; what kind of surprises can I expect when I begin to crack this thing open? Are there any special or unusual precautions I need to take?

Hi
If that is traction control, no, I don't have that. Any suggestions?

you have to determine if you have run flat tires.

As far as I know, I don't have them. It's a new car and they were not listed as an option on the sticker. That should mean I don't have them right?

Get some snow tires. I've driven my Miata in a little snow. It does okay if you drive slow. My Protege with studs does well, but it's a little hard to modulate the clutch on ice. Stops great. My 4x4 does the best. Starts great but doesn't stop as well as the studs. A set of studless or studded tires should do the trick.

Thanks! I'll do that. Any recommendations on the snows?
