Fiesta in the snow.

IMO the best way to go is a full set of wheels and tires so your not swapping them all the time (which tires are not intended to have done to them).

Obviously a 16" tire is going to be cheaper than a 17" tire, that goes without saying.

I know my 17" Graspics didn't cost twice what the same tire in a 16" would have been though.

That's not even the point of my post.

I only used that as an example of the fact that you don't have to be stuck using the one specific tire size Ford suggests for snow tires.

The appears to be especially important for Fiesta owners since the suggested size isn't widely available.

I'll be taking the Fiesta through the mountains of Pennsylvania to Lebanon tomorrow morning with my wife and the dog. The Southern Tier of New York is expecting snow, so I'll see just how well it handles. I assume the roads in both NY and PA. will be well plowed.

This was on the road too...

Last night we got some snow that was wet and slushy. Slippery for most.
Scary for others, 4wd pickup creeping at 20 mph.
The Fiesta on Blizzaks really was the king of the road, all I needed was for these slow pokes to get out of my way.

I cańt wait to try mine I have RWD only cars for the last few years and they aińt the best for the snow.
