Riverspark 28 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 It's spring and compared to last year it 's like night and day...all I can say is my little Bart the Spark isn't liking this snowy weather so much. Hopefully it will warm up soon and be able to give my Spark a nice wash :D Link to post Share on other sites
joehornback 5 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Does it drive good in the snow? I imagine that it does being FWD. I don't take my sparky out in the snow, I drive my truck. If an idiot decides to slide into me, I really don't want to be in the sparky, I feel safer in the truck, even though it has 10 airbags. Plus I don't want to risk wrecking my spark anyway... Hopefully we won't have any more snow this season, I think we're in the clear here! (Oklahoma) Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 They are decent with good snow tires, the stock tires leave a lot to be desired (in my opinion). Link to post Share on other sites
Riverspark 28 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 I wish I didn't have to use it in this weather, with the all seasons it performs okay however I'm glad it didn't accumulate to anything. Next winter I will be getting snow tires, it's a must and I wouldn't drive a vehicle without them (bought mine mid-season switch so hopefully I can ride out the spring snow falls with all seasons) Link to post Share on other sites
bluer101 241 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 What's that white stuff all over your Spark? Nothing like that here in South FL. Link to post Share on other sites
WaltK 305 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 It seems that since I've gotten my Spark, we've been having a series of these little annoying snowfalls. Nothing major, just enough to where they start salting the roads, leaving the car a mess. Spring still hasn't sprung in NJ. Link to post Share on other sites
Riverspark 28 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 This weekend we have some sun, so Bart the Spark is getting a bath :D Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Good snows are important, on previous vehicles I like the Winterforce snows with directional tread. The directional tread lets the tire move more water and most of the time we get really wet conditions on the road. The generic General snowbiters that I have are only OK, same for the Kia Sephia they were on before my Spark. I really suggest an extra set of wheels so you can change them at will, to me it is worth the extra money. Edited March 23, 2013 by Greg_E Link to post Share on other sites

Had those on my G5 and were awesome tires, plan on it for the Spark as well next season Because it's spring and there should be no more snow....hopefully Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 The problem is that people finally decided they were great snows and the price went up, I used to buy they for around $45-$50 each and now they are up around $70-$85 in the same sizes. Link to post Share on other sites
Trancer07 30 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I know the spark weighs less and is obviously smaller than my cavalier, but I've only ever used all season tires. Never had a problem in the snow and we had a pretty snowy winter this year here in Michigan. Link to post Share on other sites
