snow

Man, talk about conflicting information! My search for information proves that you really can find anything on the internet. I wanted to share my experience with putting new snow tires with new wheels on my 2011 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 in the hopes it will help someone avoid wasted time and money...

Ok this is my first winter with my Genesis, and living up in Minnesota we get the white stuff, hopefully not to soon. But I'm looking to hear what winter tires people are using so I can get ready for the season. Thanks

Not that I need them in NC, but the owners manual says to only use genuine Hyduani chains. I called the dealer parts department and he had no clue. Has anyone bought or seen Genuine Equus snow chains?

Anyone live in the snow belt and drive the Genesis on icy roads or through 6+ inches of snow? Do you get another set of wheels with winter tires?? How does the car work out in these conditions?? Thanks.

Don't know where this post really belongs, so here goes :eek: The R-Spec, even with snows, needs a snow mode on days like today when the roads are like grease, the drivers have left their brains at home, and feather-like manipulation of the gas pedal on this thing still triggers the traction...

Winter finally came to NE Ohio. (in a big way). I got my 2011 4.6 last spring so I haven't had to drive it in the snow til yesterday. I have not had to drive a RW drive car in the winter since 1990 (my 442 is RW drive, but it doesn't even see rain). I forgot how different it is to drive RW in...

Is their any advantage or disadvantage using a slightly narrower snow tire? I have heard conflicting answers to this question so I thought I would ask the experts. I currently run 235/50R-18 on my Genesis and have decided on Blizzaks for the snow. I am wondering if their is any merit going to...

I recently purchased a Genesis with the 3.8 motor and 18" wheels. I live in Northeast Ohio and think I better buy snow tires since the Genesis is rear wheel drive. Back when all cars where rear wheel drive we only bought snow tires for the rear. What is the recommendation for the Genesis, 2...

Gonna get some snows this week, wondering what other sedans are running. I'm probably getting s2k ap1 16s and lightly used blizzaks for a great deal!

I live in the midwest and get 2 or more inches of snow several times a winter. I have been trying to hold off getting a genesis until the AWD version is available (2014?), but my current car (AWD Murano) is dying very quickly. I am looking at a low mileage 2010 4.6 with the original Dunlop...

I bought my 2010 Genny V8 a few weeks ago. It has the OEM Dunlops with 12K on them, and they make the car downright dangerous when there's snow and/or ice on the road--which is often here. I've looked through this forum, and through Tirerack's tests, and it seems as if Conti Extreme Winter...

Are there any issues with running studded tires in the winter. A buddy has a set of 2 studded snow tires that are almost new he wants to sell me for $150. All I would need then is regular snow tires for the front. Just not to sure about running studded tires, because I will be putting them on in...

Well with CT getting its worst winter ever, I was very upset with the performance of the stock Dunlop tires on snow. I've driven a rear wheel car all my life and never had the same problems. So yesterday I got 4 Bridgestone Blizzaks and with the snow we are getting today, no problem. I...

My son has my Explorer so I am driving the Genesis. I passed 7 cars that were burried on I91 S. as well as a Cadillac STS in the bushes. During my commute this moring secondary highways were not plowed and most exits were not plowed. This car is fine in the snow. No problems to report. Arrived...

Played around in the snow for a while today I really hated the ECS, it controlled the ABS and the Traction Control. Whatever happened to the old days? I didn't figure out I could turn it off until I was done playing. Genny is back in the garage until further notice. Had picks but they didn't...

So my question is are there any Genesis owners diving their car in this blizzard we are getting on the east coast if so why ( lol ) , no really are you using any rear tire chains or anything else...?

Hey all, I've had this happen twice now on my 09 3.8 Sedan. After driving in heavy snow I will get a burning/melting rubber smell. First time it was the day after driving for about an hour in a snowy/icy storm on the highway (last monday night in chicago for you chi-town folks). The next day I...

Has anyone found other All Season tires that are much better? -- I used to have a Lexus GS300 rear wheel drive and drove around in the snow with Michelin All Season tires. They were much better than the Dunlops on my Genesis. I have got to say that the Genesis with the Dunlops is terrible on...

Hi, I am new to this forum as I just purchased a new 2010 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track Manual Trans. As I live in Mass, I have considered taking this car off the road for 4 months. Can anyone give me some insight on how your car handles in the snow being rear-wheel drive? :eek: I am glad I found...

There are many threads on this . . . so I thought I'd start another, taking as given that if the car is to be driven in snow, winter tires are mandatory, and there are several good ones available. Given that, are the following points about right? 1. There is no major downside to 18" v. 17"...
