Winter/summer tire pressure

[bing]

Just to tell the story again, but bottom line is air pressure is the same summer or winter to be short. In my senior year of college I lived below a hill that I had to climb to get to class. I had those wide oval tires on the back of my 59 Pontiac. They were on the car when I bought it and were pretty bald by this time. I had no trouble getting up the snowy/icy hill with those bald wide oval tires. During Christmas vacation I had the real snow tires put on. Firestone recap specials, 2 for $50. Back to school after vacation and I could not make it up the hill with the snow tires on and had to take a different route. The wide, bald tires gave me better traction than the brand new knobby snow tires of old. Those are the facts. The more rubber on the road in snow and ice the better traction you will have. Of course bald tires would not help much in deep snow or slush compared to snow tires, but most of the time in town you are driving on packed snow and ice. At least in South Dakota and Minnesota.
