snow

I have been thinking about getting another set of wheels for snowtires. Someone on this forum posted that the 17 inch wheels rode better with snow tires than the 18 inch wheels (I believe it was Disaster). So I was wondering if the 17 stock wheels on the 09 3.8 Genesis would fit on the 2011 4.6...

I bought a set of rims and had snow tires installed. Storage space in my garage is at a premium, and hauling 4 55 pound tires to and from the basement twice a year is pretty tiring for an old guy. I installed a Racor overhead storage rack in my garage - I think it looks pretty good and solves...

Got my 2009 Sedan in Nov.2009 This past weekend I drove it in snow for the first time. Not a pleasant experience. I got stuck in snow twice. Snow was not that deep. My former car-Acura TL- would have negotiated snow easily. I just could not get traction. 18" wheels should have handled it easily...

All, I want to start off with saying I absolutly love my car when its on dry pavement. However, the tires Hyundai put on this car are by far the worst POS excuse for an all-season tire I have ever driven. I had a 400+ HP Ford Lightning running on summer tires that had way more grip than these...

My two year lease on my Genesis Sedan is up this Fall and I am facing a decision: (1) Buy this Genesis (2) Buy a new Sonata or (3) Buy a new Tucson. I would like to keep the cost to under $28k - hence my decision.. I am really sold on Hyundai and would love to keep the Genesis and go with...

The sedan drives great except in the snow- rear wheel drive stinks. Has anyone purchased snow tires and, if so, did it help?

Well, today we got 30cm of snow in Ottawa. This was my first experience of handling our Genny under winter conditions. I have found that US car rating magazines give little to no importance to how a car handles on ice and snow yet here in Canada we have to contend with it for up to five...

Hey everyone, Am new to the forum and looking to buy a GC Track (GT in Canada) within the next few months. The one thing I am a bit concerned about is the suspension and torque on the Track version, and how it will perform in the snow. The salesman at the dealership said it should be fine...

Since I only take weekend trips to the mountains, I don't need snow tires full time. Does anyone have recommendations for snow cables or chains? I doubt there is enough clearance for chains. P235/50R18 (2010 3.8 Tech) I am also considering using a bra just for the weekend. The clear bras...

Hi Everyone, Like everyone else here, I LOVE the new Genesis Coupe. My main concern is driving it in the snow, as it would be my main vehicle, tho my husband drives a Xterra. I always put snow tires on my cars, living in Spokane, Wa, however, I've always driven a manual FWD car. Will I be able...

Just an FYI, tirerack is now reporting they know the tires/rims which work for the v-8 sedan, Should make it easier to get snows this year, it was a real pain last year.

Now that some of you have had the car for a few months, and we've had most of one winter, I'm guessing some have driven the Genesis in snow or on icy conditions. I'm wondering if the limited slip differential in the V8 makes a difference. Have you driven on hills, or just flat terrain? We...

Hello all: This is my first post. Just test drove a 4.6. I am a current owner of a 535i and my wife drives an X5. We have only had BMW's for quite some time. I was impressed. I was expecting Lexus-soft suspension but the 4.6 was firm. Not as firm as the 5, but I am finding at my age, a...

As noted in the thread about snow performance, the Genesis Park Assist seems very sensitive to snow. I understand why this is, yet my wife's Fusion doesn't seem to have the same problem. Does anyone else have experience with other vehicles with this feature to tell if it is normal or overly...

I am considering a 3.8 lease but living outside of Boston I have always had 4WD or AWD. Test drove one today and loved it! I found a snowy and really icy road and seemed to do ok with the esc helping out. I know that snow tires will help but I just don't want to be left on the side of the...

Any one own a Genesis in the snow belt? If you put snow tires on it how does it do in the snow?

Yo Guy's Woke up this morning to 2inches of snow Hiha!!! Time to try the new tires I had installed a set of 18" Yokohama W.Drive on the original 18" wheels They look great! Well I got to try them and it is AWESOM The car starts whith out any sliding and it stops on a dime Could not get...
