Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 20, 2007 11:23 am) Hey Juice, I'm thinking about swapping my Outback for a '99 Miata. The Miata comes with studs. As you know, I don't have to commute but it would be nice to be able to get to the ski hill once or twice a week. The road is well maintained and I wouldn't be going up on powder days.   Am I nuts? (ok, more nuts than usual?). Replies to this message: ateixeira (Nov 26, 2007 7:55 am) steve_ (Nov 26, 2007 9:23 am) ateixeira (Nov 26, 2007 9:26 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 25, 2007 2:05 pm) With studded tires I think even a Mustang might make it. Well, maybe.   You will be fine, the question is what about the other cars sliding around you? You're small and a bit vulnerable. Just drive very defensively when the road has ice or snow. Replies to this message: steve_ (Nov 26, 2007 9:23 am) ateixeira (Nov 26, 2007 9:26 am)

Thanks!   Steve, just a tire kicking host visiting here.... Replies to this message: ateixeira (Nov 26, 2007 9:26 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 26, 2007 9:23 am) Same for me, I don't usually take any highways to and from work, and speeds are usually limited to about 45-50. The Miata thrives in a city environment because it's small and nimble.
